🍺 WINDOW – The Card Drinking Game
🎯 Game Objective

The players work together to correctly reveal all the cards in the "window."

They guess whether the face-down cards are higher, lower, the same, between, or outside the range of the already revealed cards.

Mistakes are penalized – correct guesses bring security or the opportunity to pass the turn.
... 🃏 Game Setup

The game is played with cards from 7 to Ace.

Each card appears exactly 4 times in the game.

The cards are laid out in a 5x5 square.

Only the edges are filled with cards; the center is empty.

At the start, two opposite corner cards are face up.

All other cards are face down.

▶ Gameplay

1️⃣ Choose a card
A player clicks on a face-down card that is directly adjacent to one or two face-up cards.
The adjacent face-up cards determine which choices are allowed.

2️⃣ Possible choices
🔹 One adjacent face-up card
The player may choose:
Higher
Lower
Equal
🔹 Two adjacent face-up cards
The player may choose:
Between (between the two cards in value)
Outside (lower than both or higher than both)
Equal (equal to one of the two cards)

3️⃣ Reveal card
The chosen card is Revealed

The game automatically checks whether the decision was correct or incorrect.

✅ Correct Decision

The card remains face up.
The player may continue playing.
🔁 After two correctly guessed cards in a row, the player may voluntarily pass to the next player.
👉 This is optional – the player can also continue playing themselves.

❌ Incorrect Decision

All connected revealed cards belonging to this turn are removed.

These cards are replaced with new face-down cards.

The other corner of the playing area remains untouched.

🍻 Drinking Rule

👉 The player must take as many sips as cards were removed.

Example:

3 connected cards are replaced → 3 sips

🔁 Cards & Probability

Removed cards are returned to the deck.
The deck is reshuffled.
This ensures:
No card appears more often than allowed.
Probabilities remain fair.

🏁 End of Round

When all cards in the window have been revealed:
The playing area is reshuffled.
A hint appears: "EX"

This means that if a player makes a mistake, they have to chug their drink.

🧠 Important Notes

A player can play in multiple areas simultaneously. Mistakes only affect the connected cards in that area. No one has to drink if they guess correctly (unfortunately 😏).

Have fun! 🍻🤯
