Pregame and house rules

Drinking party games without the dead air.

Cardyard keeps the round moving with instant prompts, easy categories, and free starters that work before anyone agrees on a full game. Add your own drink rules, or just use the prompts as the table's next dare.

Best for

Pregames
Birthday parties
Apartment parties
Groups that need quick rules

Make the rules as light as the group needs

Use Cardyard for prompts only, or attach a drink rule to each skip, vote, wrong answer, or lost challenge. The page gives you the card; your room controls the stakes.

Works when nobody brought a deck

Every game runs in the browser, so the host can start from a phone and pass prompts around without installing anything.

Premium is for the late round

Keep the first round free and easy. Unlock NSFW or adult categories only when the group asks for sharper prompts.

Questions before you play

Can Cardyard be used as a drinking game?

Yes. Use Truth or Drink directly, or add your own drink rule to Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever, or 10 Second Panic.

What drinking party game works for large groups?

Never Have I Ever and 10 Second Panic scale well because one prompt can involve the whole room quickly.

Do I need Premium for drinking games?

No. Free rounds work for party-safe prompts. Premium unlocks adult and NSFW categories plus higher limits.
