Four stops, one deck, and no memory required. Guess red or black, then higher or lower, then inside or outside, then the suit — clear all four and you are off the bus and handing out drinks. Miss one and you drink and stay aboard. The browser deals every card, tracks the range, and counts everyone's sips, so nobody has to do the maths after the first ride.
Two to eight players take turns riding the bus. Each ride is four stops — clear them all to get off.
Pick red or black to start the ride.
Why play it online? The real game dies at stop three, when everyone is arguing about whether a 9 counts as inside 7-and-Jack, and again at the end, when nobody can remember who already drank what. Here the range, the pushes and the whole tally are handled for you.
The app runs the deck, the four stops and the sips. Everything else is up to your table — agree on a few of these before the first ride.
Reach stop four and you can declare double or nothing: call the suit for double the reward, but miss it and you drink double the penalty. Takes nerve.
Play with water and keep your real drink on the side. Every rule works identically and everybody sets their own pace.
The whole table shouts the call together. Anyone who disagrees with the rider drinks 1 — and the rider still drinks if the table was wrong.
Anyone who gets off the bus is applauded, and the rider to their left drinks 1 for the privilege of watching. Petty, effective.
Play three rides each. Lowest sip tally at the end names the winner, who gets to make one rule for the rest of the night.
Skip stop one for the whole table — everyone starts at higher or lower. Shorter rides, bigger penalties, faster night.
