Birthday Fun

This past Saturday we celebrated a good friends birthday. We started the night out by going out to dinner with a group for friends to Cooper's Pub. It was my first time having dinner there and it was really good. I had the pan crusted walleye and it was really delicious.

 After we had a great dinner, we went back to our friends apartment to enjoy some time before they all went downtown for the evening. While back at the apartment, I was introduced to a new drinking card game and I just have to share it with all of you.

The game is called 'Turrets' (there is many different spellings for this game it seems since it's a newer game)
-At least 3 people needed (the more the better)
-You need a deck of cards to play
-The object of the game is to say a word before the dealer
-Pick a person to be the dealer and the dealers first opponent is the person to their left, then go clockwise.
-The dealer deals down a card face up between them and their opponent. Whatever the card starts with (Q-Queen, T-2, F-4...you get it) the first person to yell a word wins. The loser drinks five. So if the card is a 6 and the dealer yells 'sugar', the dealer wins.
-As the game goes on, it gets harder because no repeats are allowed.
-The word is not allowed to be a proper noun or a number...and it can't be king, queen or jack (the name of the card).
-We played it a lot like F' the dealer. Once the dealer beat 3 people (not in a row since the game is really hard), they can pass the cards onto the next person.

We had so much fun playing this game. It is so difficult to think of a word so fast. I love learning new games and playing them...I'm such a 'game' person. If any of you play...have fun :)
