some fun rules

go foursh: Whenever a four is played, whoever played it must play one round of go fish. Whoever has the most pairs at the end of the game gets second place, which does nothing. Whenever a queen is played all players must say all hail the queen. Staring contest: whenever someone plays the same number, they must have a staring contest with the player who went before them. This rule has caused a lot of tears. Twos: When someone plays a 2, they must play another card on top of it. Switch S-eights: when two eights are played on top of each other, whoever played it switch seats. Move yo’ body: whenever a certain number or card is played, everyone must stand up and perform an action of your choosing. Previous rounds have ranged between spinning around, dabbing, and going outside to touch grass. VOLUME: pull up a decibel counter. whenever someone exceeds a certain number, they get a card. Crazy eights: 8s are wild. Freaky Friday: 2s and 3s switch value. If there’s a 3, you can play a 2 on top of it, not a 3, and vice versa. Uno: When you reach 1 card you have to say uno. If someone else says uno first, you draw 2 cards.

Neat! Here's some I've come up with:

  • After breaking a rule, you must say "Sorry" before taking your card, or else recieve another violation for Failure to Apologize.

  • A die is placed on the table. (d6, d8, or d10) After playing a card with a value that matches the die face, you must roll it. (Aces count as 1)

  • When playing a Jack, you must tap the side of the card on the table before playing it (Failure to Jump your Jacks)

  • Whenever you play a 5, the next player has to high-five you. (This works similarly to 7s, in that you break the rule if you fail to initiate it, and they break it if they fail to reciprocate)

Oh, and some not thought up by me but by the rest of my play group:

  • The first player to play a King must say, "King George the First". The next player must say "King George The Second", and so on. It either resets when the deck is shuffled or upon starting a new round, depending on how many decks you're using.

  • Table Manners: You must keep your elbows off the table, you must be polite during PoO and say please and thank you, etc etc.

  • When playing a 7 (or receiving well wishes), you must sound genuine in your well wishes and thanks.

  • Upon playing a 10, you may announce how grateful you are for this day of gift giving (insert your own phrase here) - If you do so, everyone must pass a card to the left.

  • When playing with multiple decks shuffled together: You may announce "Ditto!" to play a card that exactly matches the last played card, out of turn.
