Players sit around a circle of 57 face-down cards and take turns drawing and following instructions. Three basic rules apply: no saying the word "drink", hold your glass only in the left hand, and no swearing. Four special cards require players to pour a sip into the central Klattschglas. Drawing the last special card means losing and drinking the glass. The game thrives on social interaction and rule adherence in a party setting.
