The Drunken Elephant Game Contents:
(10) Animal cards
(42) Asorted drinking cards
Wild card: Everyone drinks except the wild card holder.
Game Rules:
Each player receives (1) animal card (oriented face up in front of them)
Make sure the elephant is one of the cards.
Drinking cards are placed in the middle of table (oriented face down)
Each player looks at their card and must mimic the animal on their card.
Example: If you have the deer card, place two fingers on top of your head (see video example for animal movements).
Game play:
Players show their animal sign around the circle to notify other players which animal belongs to them.
The person who draws the elephant card starts the game and must take a drink.
The elephant cardholder makes the elephant sign and then makes someone else’s animal sign.
Next, that animal cardholder makes their sign first then selects another animal.
Example: elephant cardholder does elephant sign, then bird sign. Then bird cardholder does bird sign, then deer sign, etc. This game pattern continues until a player makes a mistake or hesitates too long on creating the animal signs. When this happens, the person who made a mistake must draw a drinking card.
This person must follow instruction on the drinking card. Next, this person restarts game by creating their animal and then another animal.
If you draw a drink card, keep it.
The first person that receives 3 drink cards loses and must finish their drink.
The next round starts by reshuffling and redistributing the game cards.
(so, a new player is the elephant).
Note: Faster you play, the better.
Strategy Tips:
Choosing an animal sign of someone you’re not facing physically in the circle/at the table.
Selecting the person's animal who just selected you, for example: pig --> owl, owl --> pig, & pig --> owl again.
Happy Playing!
Remember always drink responsibly.
