Death Ring
----------

	The name alone should inspire great caution. Gather many risk-loving
friends, mass hordes of beer, two decks of cards and get ready for some serious 
consumption.
	Everyone is in a circle. The first person draws a card.  The next 
person draws a card.  If the card is related to the first card drawn (related 
meaning it is the same value or if it is the same suit) then both players must 
drink the number of sips as on their card. (jack=11 drinks, queen=12, etc.).
If they have both have the exact same card then they have to drink double the 
face value.  Ok, if that doesn't sound bad enough, it gets worse. The next 
person in the circle is the one who gets to count the sips the first two are 
drinking, as fast or slow as he/she wants. But, and this is a big but, if one 
of the drinkers finishes their beer before the counting is done, then the  
person counting has to finish his beer. (It is best to play this game with 
cans of beer or cups so you can bluff as to how much beer you have left).
	Ok, now, the third person draws, if the card is related to either the 
1st or 2nd card, then all 3 have to drink (the fourth person counts), and say 
that one and two had a match, then they still drink double. Now continue 
around the circle.  If a card drawn fails to be related, the ring is broken,
and start again. If the ring makes it all around the circle, then the first 
guy gets rid of his card and becomes the counter, then is next to draw a new 
card.
	Ok, a sample round. Let's have 6 people in the ring.
		player 1 draws a 7 of clubs
		player 2 draws a 9 of clubs
		player 3 counts to 9 while players 1 and 2 drink 
		  (player 1 stops at 7 drinks)
		player 3 draws a 7 of hearts
		player 4 counts to 14, player one finishes beer before 4 
		  is done counting, player 4 has to finish beer
		player 4 draws a 10 of hearts
		player 5 counts to 14
		player 5 draws a 9 of diamonds
		player 6 counts to 18
		player 6 draws a 4 of hearts
		player 1 discards his 7 of clubs (no longer in play)
 		  and counts to 18
		player one draws....etc.

Be careful with this one.
