Pass and draw
The phone moves clockwise. Each player draws one omen, reads it aloud, and does what the card demands. No second-guessing or pleading for mercy.
The Draw
Wild Charm

Let charms linger
Charms stay fixed to a player for a few turns. Wild Charms bind the whole table until a Resolution lifts them. Live with them.

Frequently asked
Is Gentle Jack: Omens really free?
Yes. No download, no signup, no paywall. The app runs in your browser. We make our money from the physical card game on Amazon, which is the fuller version of what you're playing here.
How many players do I need?
Two minimum, eight maximum. Three to six is the sweet spot. Bigger groups get more chaotic. Smaller groups get more vindictive.
What's a good drinking game for two people?
Most drinking games fall apart with two players because they need a group to work. Omens holds up because the cards target specific players and the charms create ongoing tension between you. It's one of the few that stays fun at two.
Do I have to drink to play?
No. Swap sips for anything you want, push-ups, spicy chips, money in a jar. The game works without alcohol. It just hits harder with it.
What makes this different from other drinking game apps?
Most drinking game apps are a deck of one-liners: read the card, drink, move on. Omens has charms that linger, wild charms that bind everyone, and resolutions that break curses later in the game. It's a drinking game that remembers what happened three turns ago.
