📖 About This Game
Take on the role of a clever patron at the bar, passing drinks and avoiding “The Tab” in this lively, social card game. Each round, you’ll use strategy, bluffing, and deduction to pass drink cards to your fellow players.
Play seamlessly with the Standard Edition, focusing on simple drink-passing dynamics, or spice things up with the Deluxe Edition, where action cards add twists like reversing the passing order, forcing unexpected exchanges, or exposing hidden cards.
The game evolves as players navigate shifting alliances and unpredictable turns. A single move could change the balance of power, and when you think you’re in the clear, “The Tab” might land in your hand!
It’s easy to learn, fast-paced, and filled with suspense—perfect for game nights, parties, or any gathering where trust is in short supply. Will you play it safe, take bold risks, or deceive your way to victory? One thing’s for sure: no one wants to end the night with “The Tab”!
