D-DRUK

📖 Game Rules

The Idea

D-Druk is a team party game mixing homemade games with sneaky cup-stealing. Each penalty adds points to your team — and the team with the fewest points wins. Every penalty point becomes one shot, split inside the team however they like.

How the game runs — step by step

• Before start (15 min): each team invents its own game. It must fit inside one round.
• Round 1 — Team 1 hosts (10 min): 0–3 min intro (MAX 3), then ~7 min playing. By the end there must be exactly one loser.
• Round end: at 10 seconds left the countdown takes over the screen — get to the table. When time hits zero, everyone puts their empty cup on the agreed table.
• Points are handed out and cups refilled before the next round starts.
• Round 2 — Team 2 hosts, and so on until every team has hosted a game.
• Game over: totals are counted. Fewest points wins and goes on the D-Druk Winner List.

Penalties & points

At round end: not finished your drink → Rule Break. Didn't get your cup down in time → Late. Lost your cup → Lost Cup. Add live during play; use the undo (✕) on any logged penalty to remove a mistake.

The cup system

• Carry your cup at all times throughout the whole game.
• A cup can be stolen — but it only counts if the owner doesn't catch who took it.
• Caught in the act? The steal doesn't count.
• Lost cup = penalty points for the team that lost it.
• Get it back: if you can name who took your cup and where it is — and you're right — they must hand it back.

What you must NOT do (Rule Break)

• You may not physically rip a cup out of an opponent's hand.
• During the countdown you may not touch anyone else's cups in any way.
• You may not hold a cup for a teammate.
• You may not physically block people from reaching the table.

One penalty per lost cup

If you've lost your cup, you do not also get penalized for failing to put it on the table, and not for not finishing your drink — you can't drink from a cup you don't have.

Designing a game

• Fast to explain and play — finishes inside the round.
• Use anything around the house.
• Must produce exactly one loser (no winner required).
• Keep it simple and chaotic.

Lowest score takes the crown. Have fun and stay safe! 🍺
