Resha Roulette instructions (quick version)
Lost the box insert, or just want the rules in 30 seconds? Here is the whole game:
- Gather the crew. Three or more players, all 21+ (the box says you must be 21+ to play). Set out the four shot glasses (any glass works) plus water.
- Shuffle the deck. Mix all 120 cards and set them face down in the middle of the table.
- Set two house rules. Decide what a “shot” means for your group (full, half or a sip) and whether a refused dare costs a shot.
- Draw and do. On your turn, draw the top card, read it out loud and do exactly what it says — Take a Shot, I Dare You or Wild Card. Keep any Wild Card that lasts more than one turn face up beside the deck.
- Discard and pass left. Play moves clockwise until the deck runs out or the night moves on.
Each step is explained in more detail below, along with the three card types and the house rules that keep the night fun.
What is Resha Roulette?
Resha Roulette is a party card game for adults that mixes shots, dares and wild twists. There is no board, no score sheet and very little to teach. Every card tells the player exactly what to do, which is why it works so well at birthdays, girls’ nights and bachelorette weekends, where half the room arrives mid-game.
Caresha Please has also released a sequel, Resha Roulette Reloaded, which adds a spinner and play money. This guide covers the original box.
What’s in the box
- 120 cards in three categories: Take a Shot, I Dare You and Wild Card.
- Four shot glasses, so the first four players are ready to go.
- Players: three or more. It plays best with five to eight.
- Age: 21+. The box says everyone must be 21+ to play.
You will also want water, a non-alcoholic option for anyone who isn’t drinking, and a table with room for the deck and the glasses.
How to set up
- Shuffle the 120 cards and set the deck face down in the middle of the table.
- Pour the shot glasses, or line up whatever drink each player prefers. Mocktails and water count.
- Agree on two house rules before the first card: what a “shot” means for your group (a full shot, half, or a sip), and whether players can pass on a dare.
- Pick the first player. The person whose birthday is closest is a good tie-breaker, and play goes clockwise.
How a turn works
- Draw the top card and read it out loud.
- Do what the card says. That might be taking a shot, completing a dare, or applying a wild card that changes the table.
- Put the card on the discard pile and pass the turn to the left.
That is the whole loop. The game ends when the deck runs out or when the group decides the night has moved on. If you want a winner, a simple house rule works: whoever completes the most dares gets to pick the next game.
The three card types
Take a Shot
The most direct cards in the deck. Read the card out loud and follow it exactly as printed, including who has to drink. If the wording leaves any doubt, the reader makes the call, so nobody argues mid-round.
I Dare You
These are the cards people remember. Dares range from silly to outrageous. Decide before you start whether a refused dare costs a shot, and stick to it so nobody feels singled out.
Wild Card
Wild Cards are the curveballs in the deck. Read each one out loud and follow it exactly as printed. If a card sets something that lasts longer than one turn, keep it face up beside the deck so nobody forgets it.
House rules that keep it fun
- Pass anytime. Anyone can skip a dare. Decide in advance whether a pass costs a sip, and keep it small.
- No filming without consent. Dares are funnier when people aren’t worried about the group chat.
- Water between rounds. Put a pitcher on the table before the first card.
- Sober seat. Non-drinkers swap every shot for a dare or a truth question and still play every turn.
- Pull the cards you don’t want. If a dare doesn’t fit your crowd, take it out before you shuffle.
Tips for hosting a Resha Roulette night
- Start it early. The deck is best as an opener, while energy is high and the group is still arriving.
- Use half shots. With 120 cards, full shots add up fast. Half shots let you play the whole deck.
- Mix in a second game. When the dares run dry, switch to a calmer card game for a round and come back.
- Assign a reader. One person reading wild cards aloud keeps the rules straight.
Who Resha Roulette is for
Resha Roulette is made for groups who want the party to be the game. It suits birthday crews, bachelorette weekends, girls’ nights and pregames where people already know each other and are happy to be a little embarrassed. It is less of a fit for a quiet dinner, a mixed work crowd, or anyone who would rather sit back and watch. If that describes half your guests, deal it later in the night, once the people who want to play have found each other.
When the deck runs out
A full deck lasts most groups an hour or two. When it runs out, reshuffle the cards you skipped, switch to a calmer game, or take the best dares of the night and run them back as a final round. Many groups keep a running list of house dares to mix in next time, which keeps the deck feeling new.
Resha Roulette vs King’s Cup
Both are draw-and-do drinking games. King’s Cup uses a standard deck and a rule chart you have to remember; Resha Roulette prints every instruction on the card and leans harder into dares. If your group already loves the King’s Cup format, King’s Cup Extreme is the closest cheaper option. For the classic chart, see our King’s Cup rules.
FAQs about Resha Roulette
Where are the Resha Roulette instructions?
Resha Roulette keeps its instructions on the cards themselves: every card tells the player exactly what to do. The five-step quick version at the top of this page covers setup and the turn loop, so if the insert went missing at the last party, you can still play tonight.
How many people can play Resha Roulette?
Three or more. Five to eight is the sweet spot; with a bigger group, pass the deck quickly so nobody waits long.
Do you need the shot glasses to play?
No. They are a nice touch, but any glass works, and non-drinkers can play with water or a mocktail.
Is there a winner?
The box keeps it casual: you draw, you do, you pass. If your group wants a winner, count completed dares.
Is Resha Roulette worth it?
If you want a ready-made party deck with dares already written, yes. If you want the same idea for less, King’s Cup Extreme costs about a quarter of the price.
