To start Across the Bridge, you need to deal out ten cards face down in one line. This forms the bridge.
Each player takes turns to flip one card over at a time.
If you get a numbered card you are fine and get to move to the next card. However, if you flip a face card you drink according to the face card, Jack is one, Queen is two, King is three, and Ace is four.
Once you flip a face card, you must put down more cards according to what the face card is.
Example: Pull a Jack and place one more down, pull a Queen and put two down, etc.
