## Description
Sakebato is that bar game that’ll liven up any hangout with friends. The deck features drink cards with their alcohol content — from water (0%) to tequila (40%). In the main mode, Sake Chicken Race, each player draws a card and plays one onto a shared pile, calling out the running alcohol total. Go over 100% and you lose the round, but hitting exactly 100% is safe! Playing a water card removes a drink from the pile, lowering the total and returning both cards to the deck. Mess up the math? You’re out too. And there’s more: the same deck supports three other quick games. In Sake E-Card, two players reveal cards simultaneously — the stronger drink wins, but water beats tequila! Tequila Roulette is pure suspense: flip cards until someone hits tequila and loses. In Sake Poker, the goal is to build the best matching drink combo over three rounds of discarding and drawing. All modes wrap up in 1–3 minutes and, of course, can be played as drinking games (or with soft drinks if you prefer).
