A drinking game for all who would dare defy Prohibition. Among the eight cards, a player might find themselves tasked with imbibing a martini (or two), might suddenly be "Stung!", or might be refreshingly and boringly dry. The cards' miniature size makes them portable and concealable, but chiefly this diminutive quality adds to the novelty of what is, in fact, a tie-in to Griffith's film of the same name, released in 1922.
