Thai Tea Rules

Thai Tea is a variation of high tea that uses Uno cards instead of traditional playing cards, making it a great option when standard cards aren’t available or if you want a slightly more complex game.

Things You Need

• Two Players
• Two Shot Glasses (of the same size)
• A Deck of Uno Cards
• Shooting Liquor (must be at least 38% alcohol content to ensure enough fear)
• A Normal Drink for each player (beer, cocktail, etc)

Set Up

1. Shuffle the deck thoroughly.
2. Each player gets 7 cards to start.
3. Place the rest of the deck face-down in the center as the draw pile.

How to Play

1. Draw the House Card from the top of the deck and reveal it face-up. (If a power card is drawn, draw again.)
2. Each player secretly selects one card from their hand and places it face-down.
3. Reveal both cards simultaneously to compare them:
• The player who plays the lowest card (1–9) loses the round.
4. The losing player must drink, based on the comparison with the House Card:
   • If the loser's card is equal to or higher than the House Card, they take a sip of their normal beverage.
   • If the loser's card is lower than the House Card, they must take a shot.
5. After one or both players have taken their drinks, place all the played cards onto the House Card pile. Then, draw a new House Card to start the next round.

Power Cards

• Wild: Your card automatically matches the House Card.
• Skip: Draw a new card from the deck as your play card for this round.
Reverse: Your opponent holds up their cards randomly. You pick one without seeing it to play for this round. They redraw a replacement card afterward.
• Draw 2: Add +2 to the House Card’s value. If your opponent doesn’t lose, you take a shot.
• Draw 4: Same as Draw 2 but adds +4 to the House Card’s value. (Same penalty applies.)

Additional Rules

• If both players play the same card, they both drink a shot as a penalty.
• Before play begins, a player may request a reshuffle of both hands and the deck, but this comes at the cost of taking a forfeit shot.
• Each round is limited to a maximum of one shot per player.
