Chez Cousette
Setup
Each couple receives a bag to hold their earned chips.
Two decks of cards are placed face down on the table: a deck of diamonds and a deck of clubs. (Decks of hearts and spades are reserved for the final round.) Diamonds are the tamest and are usually worth 1 chip. Clubs are usually worth 2 chips. (Hearts are usually worth 3 chips. Spades are extremely adventuresome and are worth at least 4 chips.)
Each player is assigned a number. Women are even numbers, men are odd numbers.
Playing
Round One
The first player selects a card from the top of either the diamonds or clubs decks, and unless instructed otherwise, reads it out-loud to the group. If he decides to play the card, he follows the instructions. If he decides to not play the card, he places it in the wild pile and then draws a second card from the top a deck. He can either play the second card or place it in the wild pile. The turn then passes to player number two.
Players can draw a card from the top of any available deck or play any card from the wild pile.
A player can draw a card before the previous player has finished his/her activity; this keeps the pace moving.
When a card is played from the wild pile, it is worth two additional chips for the player.
Once a card is played, it is moved to the discard pile and not used again.
As players look for someone to join them in an activity, they should see who may want an invitation rather than accepting the first person who volunteers. Everyone should feel invited to participate as much or as little as they’d like.
Interlude
As the group desires, we can break to repose in the building's sky-top hot tub and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the downtown riverwalk, while continuing the flirtations, conversations, and cocktails.
Bring swimwear, as nudity and sexual activity are not permitted outside the residence. Robes are suggested for after-wear. Towels will be provided.
Playing continues
Round Two
Back in the residence, as the group desires, we'll add the more adventurous hearts and spades decks to continue the game.
Play continues for another couple of rounds or until activities evolve into a sensual orgy.
Winning
The couple with the most chips wins, and a prize is awarded. Guests are then welcome to resume their activities.
