Copo d'água is mostly played for fun on parties and young friend reunions since this game has no winners, just losers - It is a very simple card game, generally played by more than 2 people, with a shuffled deck containing 4 cards of the same value for each player and a joker - The cards are all distributed in the beginning of the round and there must be no leftovers or discards - One player is going to have 5 cards and he or she must begin by passing a card forward.

the game consists in passing cards around the table until one player has 4 cards of the same value, when he puts his cards face down on the table and all other players must follow suit - The last person to put their cards down loses and must then complete a task which could be drinking a glass of water (copo d'água), as the name of the game suggests - if the player cannot complete the given task, he or she is out of the next round.
