Playing « Baisse un doigt si »: express method and winning variants
Everyone raises 10 fingers. In turn, a player reads a sentence that begins with « Baisse un doigt si… ». If the situation has happened to you, you bend one finger. The last to keep at least one finger raised wins the round. It’s ultra-accessible, requires no equipment, and it works just as well for a night out with friends as for an after-work or a weekend.
To adapt to the group, choose the duration (5 or 10 fingers), the tone (light, spicy, love, family) and add a little dare if you like to spice things up. The key is to announce your limits and to respect everyone’s pace.
| Mode | When to use | Quick rule |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Icebreaker, mixed teams | 10 fingers, no dare |
| Fast | Between games | 5 fingers, rapid-fire |
| Drinking game | Adult party | One finger + a sip (optional) |
| Thematic | Couples, teens, family | Questions from a single theme |
Golden rule: consent and kindness. If a question makes someone uncomfortable, we skip it. Fun always comes before “truth.”
