This is a simple game that should be played while casually drinking or just hanging out. Usually I have played with about 8 people, but you can do as many as possible, even in the middle of a party. Cards are dealt to denote one person as the drug dealer and one person as the Cop. Everyone else is a bystander (drug addict). As everyone is casually hanging out and talking, the drug dealer winks at people to make a drug deal. When they wink at someone, the player winked at is required to lay their card down and say "a deal has been made."
The goal for the cop is to catch the dealer and the goal of the dealer is to make deals with everyone at the table / in the room. Everyone else just plays the game as a bystander and tries to help the drug dealer make their deals.
The strategy is basic. The cop tries not to look like a cop and the drug dealer tries to not look like the drug dealer. Everyone else does whatever they want to throw people off. You can play 2 ways...one is every time the cop accuses someone, that person is out of the game if the cop chooses incorrectly and the game ends if he/she chooses the true drug dealer. The second way is that the cop only gets one guess. The second way is better if you have fewer people, but the first is better if you have more than 10.
This game is really fun as an early night party activity, and is pretty simply so anyone can play.
Cheap and fun things to do around Minneapolis/St.Paul
