What are some good card drinking games for 2 people?
1. Kings Cup: This two-player card drinking game is played using a standard deck of playing cards, some beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), and a large cup.
To start, each player draws a card from the top of the deck. The player drawing the highest-ranking card goes first and removes one card from the deck at random. The player then gives a command based on the suit of the card they drew, such as “spades, drink” or “hearts, make a rule.” If another player draws a card that matches the suit of the first player’s card, that person also has to do what was commanded. If a card with a face value of “King” is drawn, the player must pour some of their beverage into the large cup, and the last person to do this has to finish it off. The first player to draw all their cards loses and has to finish off whatever is left in the big cup.
2. Spit: This card drinking game is played using a standard deck of playing cards and two or more players. The goal of the game is to get rid of all your cards as quickly as possible.
To start, each player takes turns flipping over one card from their pile and discarding it onto the center pile. As soon as two identical cards are discarded, the player who discarded the second card must take a drink. The game continues until all cards have been discarded and the last person to discard their cards has to finish off what’s left in the cup.
3. Go Fish: This two-player drinking card game is played using a standard deck of playing cards and some beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
To start, each player is dealt seven cards. On their turn, a player can ask another player if they have any particular rank of card (such as “Do you have any threes?”). If the other player has that card, they must hand it over and the first player gets to go again. If the other player does not have that card, they must “go fish” by drawing one from the deck. As soon as a player collects four of a kind, they must discard them and take a drink. The first player to collect all their cards wins and gets to finish off what’s left in the cup.
4. Bullshit: This two-player card drinking game is played using a standard deck of playing cards and some beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
To start, each player is dealt five cards face down. On their turn, a player can discard any number of cards they want but must state what rank the card(s) is/are. For example, if a player wants to discard two cards, they must say “two threes” or “three nines”. If the other player thinks the statement is false, they can call bullshit and the first player must reveal their cards to prove it otherwise. Whoever was wrong has to drink. The game continues until one player has no cards left and the other has to finish off whatever is left in the cup.
5. Screw Your Neighbor: This two-player card drinking game is played using a standard deck of playing cards and some beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
To start, each player is dealt four cards face down and one card face up. On their turn, a player can either keep the card they were dealt or swap it with the other player’s top card. If two players have the same rank, whoever has the highest suit will win in this game. Whoever loses must drink. The game continues until all cards are gone and the last person to lose has to finish off what’s left in the cup.
6. War: This two-player card drinking game is played using a standard deck of playing cards and some beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
To start, each player is dealt half the deck with their face down cards in a pile and the remaining cards face up. On their turn, a player must flip over one of their top two cards and compare it to the other player’s top card. Whoever has the highest rank wins in this game. The loser must drink and also give their winning card to the victor. The game continues until all cards are gone and the last person to lose has to finish off what’s left in the cup.
7. Circle of Death: This card drinking game is played using a standard deck of playing cards and at least three players.
To start, all the cards are shuffled and placed face down in a circle around the group. The first player draws a card and whatever the card’s suit is determines what type of punishment the player must do. For example, if the card is a spade, then the player must take one drink. The game continues with each player drawing cards until someone draws the King of Hearts at which point that person has to finish off whatever is left in the cup.

To start, each player is dealt four cards face down and the remaining cards are placed in the center of the table. On their turn, a player can either pass or pick up one card from the middle stack and then discard one of their own cards face up. When a card is discarded, the other players have to guess if it’s higher or lower than the previous one. The game continues until all cards are gone and whoever has the most cards at that point gets to finish off what’s left in the cup.
