The only problem is that some people will get much, much drunker than others. This is probably the go-to card game for travelers looking to kick their night off. Circle of Death aka King’s Cup aka Ring of Fire If they stack, then yikes, you’re in for a big gulp. The adapted drinking rules are basically, for every Draw 2 or Draw 4, you’ve got to drink the amount of sips or shots, depending on how aggressive you want to be. Of course, Uno isn’t supposed to be a drinking game but hey, we are backpackers after all. You can be the life of the party if you have a deck of Uno. It’s almost heartbreaking having to crush those losers every time. Seriously, non-Americans get so hyped up over beer pong it is insane. It’s not that big of a deal, right? But you go anywhere else in the world and beer pong is the main attraction. I mean, we’ve been playing this since we were 15, long before we were even allowed to drink. Invented in America and glorified by every college flick out there, beer pong is the stuff of legends among travelers. No matter how unclear the universal rules might be, beer pong is undeniably a universal game. Based on my boozy travel experiences, these are the best drinking games that you can play at a hostel. There are a lot of ways to spice up the getting drunk process. Since technology is a thing now, drinking game apps like Betchoo will set the rules for you so all you have to do is pay attention and drink. Thankfully, some will set the rules for you. How can you expect everyone to agree on what the rules are for all thirteen cards? You can’t. I mean, no one can even agree whether it’s called King’s Cup or Circle of Death. Beer pong is infamous for having non-universal rules, although as an American, my rules are always correct.
Others, you’ll have cultural clashes over what the rules actually are. Over the last four years, I’ve had my fair share of drinks and card games. Socializing is crucial for long-term solo travelers and backpackers, and there is no better way to loosen up those boundaries and morals than with a good old fashioned drinking game. Maybe I’ll go see a waterfall in the afternoon but at the end of the day, when I’m cozied up in my warm hostel and the drinks come out, so does the Jenga. The truth is, long-term travel has basically just been me playing Jenga or Uno in different countries. The most common misconception that my friends back home have is that I’m constantly seeing new places and going on death-defying adventures.
