You Laugh You Drink Review: For Those Who Can’t Keep A Straight Face

Ever thought about who has a poker face and who doesn’t out of your friends group? You Laugh You Drink helps you find that out. The game makes you try your best to make each other laugh, which is immediately followed by gulps and sips of your drinks. But, do you want to know who this game works best for, and what the content is like? 

After you’re done with playing You Laugh You Drink, Sip & Challenge is the next drinking game you should consider!

Box & Cards Design

We’re about to judge the design, and we’re pretty sure you’re up for it! 

You Laugh You Drink comes in a black shiny box, with matte squares. The front of the box shows the game name in a large font and reminds you that this is a party game. For further information, you must tilt the box.

This is the part that arouses your curiosity. There’s a short description of this drinking game, a preview of some of the cards, and some information about the creators, DSS Games. Also, you will get to know the number of cards it contains and the number of players. The age range information is missing, but we’ll update you with that in a bit. 

So, this card game has a total of 150 cards, which are made out of simple design, but extremely creative content. The back of the cards looks exactly like the front of the box, while the fronts have black backgrounds in white letters. 

Now just imagine trying to act like Drunk Santa and not laugh while performing… Bear in mind that not all cards are innocent. You will also find cards like these:

If you miss playing a CAH game, we’ve recently made a new edition called Cards Against Golden Girls.

You Laugh You Drink Rules

YLYD works best for 3 or more players, and all people who are 21 or older (because of the drinking limit and content). The game time of sessions varies, depending on how quickly you play. 

• A chosen player becomes the Joker, who reads the card silently and picks their Target, who they’ll try to get laughing. 
• The Joker has 30 seconds to make the Target laugh.
• If successful, the Joker takes the card as one point, and the Target drinks. If otherwise, vice versa.
• Then, the turn goes to the player on the Joker’s left.
• The first player that collects 7 cards (7 points) wins the game!
• Ps. everyone besides the Target is allowed to laugh.

Honest Thoughts on You Laugh You Drink

Every time we play You Laugh You Drink, our belly hurts from laughter. It’s a big hit if played at parties, and we love taking it with us, especially on trips or getaways. The cards are hilarious and make everyone laugh, even those who know how to keep a Poker face. There are just enough cards for several game sessions, and each card is unique. Simply put, it does everything all adults wish for: getting drunk and laughing.

Now, there isn’t a great replayability level here, but that’s understandable for a game such as YLYD. If you ever want to play the game with the same people again, keep aside the cards you’ve already used. It’s nearly impossible to play all 150 cards in one game session. 

Also, we’ve heard people say that ‘this isn’t very kid-friendly’, or ‘not a good game to be played with family’, but that should be understood already. The age range is 21+, and you should respect that if you want to skip any type of embarrassment. And, a friendly reminder, choose the people you’re playing with carefully, because of the sometimes inappropriate content and uncomfortable tasks. It’s very funny and you get tears of laughing, but only if played with the right crowd.

The game is available for purchase at the official site, DSS Games, and also, for free at our PDF Games Hub, here.
