In my game of spoons, there is a slight twist on the original but, believe me, it is 10x better. This version adds excitement to the classic spoons game. Spoons drinking game is a fun card game that is all about speed. The Spoons game is simple to learn and play, and the objective is to collect a spoon by making a four-of-a-kind combination using the cards in your hand. The last person who fails to grab a spoon is the loser.

Requirements to Play Spoons Drinking Game and the Setup
- A deck of cards
- Alcoholic beverages of your choice
- Spoons (if you have three players, you need 2 spoons, if you have six players you need 5, etc.)
- Number of players – two players to play but I would recommend five or six
- A Dealer- each time a spoon is picked up a new player is nominated to be the “pass dealer” and it is their job every 3 seconds to shout “pass”.
Spoons Drinking Game Rules
For best results, minimize pauses and hesitation and play spoons quickly. The goal of the game is to get four of a kind. If 6 players or fewer are playing please take the face cards (Ace, King, Queen, Jacks) out of the deck and place them to one side.
To add an extra twist and make this game amazing, you can hide all the spoons somewhere in the room or area you are playing. This makes the game extremely funny and exciting as players have to scamper around in the hope of finding a spoon.
The gameplay is very straightforward:
- Before the game starts the drink is allocated to the loser, this is done by every player putting a bit of their alcohol into a pint glass (this can be as much as the person wants to be) and placed in the middle of the table.
- All the cards are dealt in a clockwise fashion
- Every 3 seconds the dealer shouts “pass” and one card is passed from every player clockwise
- This is continued until every person apart from 1 has completed a four of a kind and then each player has to race to grab a spoon before the other players
- The person left without a spoon now has to consume the pint… Goodluck
Recommendation:
Playing Spoons is more enjoyable with waterproof cards. There is nothing worse than trying to play a fast-paced game with soggy cards.
