Get togethers can be relaxing and a nice time to catch up with friends. However, sometimes you don’t want to just sit there and chat, you want to have fun and play games.
Game Play/Rules
Take all 4 aces out of the deck and place them in a horizontal line near the end of the table.
Deal 6 cards face down in a vertical line on each side of the lined-up aces, so you have almost a 'U' shape with the aces at the bottom.
Each person picks a suit. More than one person can choose a particular suit, it doesn't matter. The ace with a particular suit is the 'horse' for that suit. One by one, the cards on the sides are turned face up, and every time a certain suit appears, that 'horse' is moved up one space. The winner is the first horse to make it past the top row of the side cards.
Players wager a certain number of drinks on their horse, which they can give out at the end of the race if they win. The losers must drink double the number of drinks that they wagered, in addition to the drinks given out by the winner. Players can also make side bets among themselves if they want. This game is great when you have a bunch of people since it gets people cheering for their horses as if it were a real race, and people end up drinking a pretty fair amount.
The Horse Race Drinking Game is a fun way to have a few drinks. It’s entirely luck based so there’s no real advantage for players who have played the game before.
Requirements:
A deck of cards and drinks
Summary:

Set Up
One player is chosen as the announcer. He then searches the deck for all 4 aces and places them in a vertical line. These represent the starting gates for the horses. Then place 7 cards face down in a horizontal line over top of the aces. These are used simply to judge distance until the horses reach the finish line.
Rules:

Now each player bets on which suit(horse) he thinks will get 7 cards first. Once all bets are in the announcer starts the race by drawing the first card from the top of the deck. The card is then placed next to the Ace of the matching suit, advancing the horse. This continues until 1 suit has 7 cards and that one is considered the winner. Whoever wins gets to give out drinks equal to their bet and each other player must drink whatever they bet.
