40 Reasons to Party

Forty Illustrated Cards on Card Stock

Each of the forty cards pairs its own illustration with a short line of text. Some lines give a reason to get everyone together, and others suggest what to do once the card is on the table. The deck is printed on card stock paper, which gives every card a firm, even feel when it is shuffled and dealt.

Prompts, Rules and Sample Cards

To play, pick a card, display it for the group, and carry out the instruction or the drinking game rule printed on it. The text is written with a wry edge. One card reads "Because the wine won't drink itself. Go wine tasting!" Another reads "Someone offered you a penny for your thoughts, and you said you would rather play quarters."

• Forty illustrated cards in a single set
• Each card combines a picture, a reason and an activity
• Instructions or drinking game rules printed on every card
• Assorted colors across the deck

The humor leans on wordplay, so the cards work best when someone reads the line aloud before the group reacts to the picture.

Light Enough to Pass Around

The deck weighs approximately 0.75 ounces. That makes it easy to hold in one hand and flick across a table, and it can be carried in a pocket or bag without adding bulk.

Because the set is made entirely of card stock paper, its weight stays consistent from card to card. Shuffling and passing it around stays simple, which keeps the focus on the prompts rather than the deck itself.
