Use a standard 52-card deck
Choose a dealer
Deal each player four cards face down
Set the remaining deck aside as the draw pile
Have each player guess the first card color
Reveal the first card
If the guess is correct, the player keeps the card; if wrong, they take a drink or penalty
Have each player guess whether the next card is higher or lower than the first
Reveal the second card
If the guess is correct, the player keeps the card; if wrong, they take a drink or penalty
Have each player guess whether the third card is inside or outside the range of the first two cards
Reveal the third card
If the guess is correct, the player keeps the card; if wrong, they take a drink or penalty
Have each player guess the suit of the fourth card
Reveal the fourth card
If the guess is correct, the player keeps the card; if wrong, they take a drink or penalty
If a player gets all guesses wrong, they “ride the bus”
If a player gets all guesses correct, they usually avoid penalties or may assign one depending on house rules
Continue with the next player until everyone has finished
Use house rules for drinks, penalties, and tie situations
Shuffle the deck before each new round
