Introduction

Welcome to the world of paw-some fun with a unique “bears” inspired drinking game! If you’re looking to add a twist to your next gathering, this game might just be the perfect fit. Combining the thrill of drinking games with a touch of wilderness, this bear-themed escapade promises laughter and memorable moments. Gather your friends, stock up on your favorite beverages, and prepare to embrace your inner bear!

Materials Needed

  • A deck of cards
  • A large table or open space
  • Plenty of your favorite beverages
  • A bear hat or costume (optional, but adds to the fun!)

The Rules of the Game

Objective: To have a roaring good time while enjoying some drinks.

  1. Setup:
    • Players sit around a table or in a circle.
    • The deck of cards is shuffled and placed at the center.
  2. Gameplay:
    • Each player takes turns drawing a card from the deck.
    • Depending on the card drawn, the player must perform a specific action:
      • Number Cards (2-10): Drink the number of sips corresponding to the card’s value.
      • Jacks: Growl like a bear! The last person to growl drinks.
      • Queens: The player becomes the “Bear Queen” and can make any other player drink at any time until another queen is drawn.
      • Kings: All players must stand and perform the “Bear Dance” (a silly dance move). The last player to start dancing drinks.
      • Aces: Bear Attack! All players must chug their drinks. The last to finish gets a bear paw print drawn on their face with a washable marker.
  3. End of the Game:
    • The game ends when the deck runs out or when players decide to stop. The player with the fewest bear paw prints wins the title of “Ultimate Bear Survivor.”

Tips for a Bear-tastic Experience

  • Safety first: Always ensure everyone is drinking responsibly. Make sure there are non-alcoholic options available for those who prefer them.
  • Bear-themed snacks: Consider serving bear-shaped cookies or gummy bears to keep the theme going.
  • Bear Costume: Encourage players to wear bear hats or costumes to immerse themselves fully in the theme.
