Four pints, please is a card game for 2-8 players. You are in a typical English pub and you must buy pints of beer in order to win. You must find coins in your pockets, control your drunkenness, be careful with the slippery wet floor, etc. Each pint has a price, and it gives points. The first player reaching 12 points wins. On your turn, you draw as many cards as you need to buy one pint in the bar, but nothing is easy... —description from the designer
