Goal
Build the highest-scoring menu of dirty sodas. The game ends when the draw pile is empty and the current player cannot craft, sip, or discard. Crazy mix-ins still on your menu score double.
2–8 players. Hand size is always 6.
The deck (108 cards)
Soda Bases (every custom drink needs at least one):
- Classic Cola — 100 pts — 12 singles, 6 doubles
- Lemon Lime — 150 — 10 / 4
- Dr. Spice — 200 — 8 / 4
- Root Beer — 250 — 6 / 2
Classic mix-ins:
- Coconut Syrup — 300 — 6 / 2
- Vanilla Cream — 350 — 6 / 2
- Blue Raspberry — 400 — 4 / 2
- Peach Puree — 450 — 4 / 2
Crazy mix-ins (2× at game end if you keep them; steal with cream or an equal-or-higher flavor):
- Pickle Juice — 500 — 4 / 2
- Hot Sauce — 600 — 2 / 2
- Salted Caramel — 700 — 2 / 1
- Jalapeño Popper — 800 — 2 / 1
Wilds: Heavy Cream ×8 (1 shot) and Double Cream ×4 (2 shots). Cream fills shots but scores 0. Vanilla Cream is a mix-in, not a wild.
Singles are 1 shot and face value. Doubles are 2 shots and double face value.
Your turn
Do exactly one:
- Craft a Small (2 shots), Medium (3), or Large (4).
- Sip an opponent’s top drink.
- Discard 1 card and draw 1 (illegal once the draw pile is empty).
Then refill to 6.
Crafting
- Plain soda: matching Base cards (plus optional cream).
- Custom drink: one mix-in flavor plus at least one Base, cream optional. The drink’s identity is the mix-in.
- Cream cannot craft alone.
Only the top drink on a menu can be sipped.
Sipping
Play cream, or a flavor whose printed number is at least as high as that drink’s flavor (same flavor always works; higher outranks lower).
The defender may play a legal card or pass. Back and forth until someone passes. The winner takes the original drink plus every card played in the battle, stacks it on their menu, then both players refill (attacker first).
Bots
Bots defend with one cheap matching single if they have it. They will not dump cream or the rest of their hand to stay in a sip. Otherwise they sip high-value drinks, craft the largest legal drink, or discard junk.
