How to play

  1. Read one out. Someone reads a line starting “Never have I ever…”.
  2. Own up. Everyone who HAS done it admits it. On Drunken Penguins, everyone taps “I have” or “Never” on their own phone at the same time.
  3. Ask for the story. The best part: make whoever said “I have” explain. Then the next card.
