Brain Damage
It's like a complicated version of blackjack.
Objective:
A drinking game that feels like Blackjack! Same-same but different. In order to win you must get 7.5 points instead of the traditional 21. Values of the cards are changed and we have them explained below. The dealer is pitted up against the group and the group must decide what to bet. This set up is great because if someone there knows how to count cards they will get brain damage trying to figure this out.
What You Need:
2 Players or More
Beer and/or Shots
A full deck of cards

How To Play:
After a Dealer is chosen they must shuffle the deck and lay a card face-down to each opponent. Then one card face-down to themselves.
Before the first hit (remember you are playing Blackjack sort of) the group must decide what they are going to bet.
You can bet just about anything you want!
You can bet that whoever loses must chug an entire beer, or only half a beer, or maybe only a sip. Some people may even want to bet an entire shot.
Or you can make things interesting and bet a rule. For example your group bets that whoever loses must talk in an accent for the remainder of the game otherwise they have to drink.

Once the group has decided the players can pick up their hand and decide whether or not they want to hit or stay.
This continues until everyone has decided they want to stay.
The dealer goes last after everyone stays.
They pick up their hand and decide whether to hit or stay.
Once winners are decided the deck is reshuffled and passed in rotation to a new dealer.

Rules:
No one can look at their card until it is their turn.

If you get less points than the dealer you also lose the bet.
If the dealer gets less points then you, the dealer loses the bet.
If the dealer goes over 7.5 points then the dealer loses the bet.
If a player gets a 5 Card Charlie that means they asked to be hit 5 times and still have not busted.
