This game allows you to become the weasel, sly and cunning, ruthless and dangerous. You must use these qualities to tempt the other players into harshly penalized mistakes, not unlike the devil himself in the Garden of Eden. All you need is a deck of cards and a jar of Salsa. We hope you'll enjoy this game as much as we do.

Before doing anything else, all players must rise to their feet and chant the sacred oath in hopes of calling forth the spirit of Spanky the Weasel from his fabled golden layer. The oath is as follows, " Oh, Mighty Weasel, the time is at hand. Now, come forth and lead us to the promised land!" If the oath was done with true feeling, the Spirit of Spanky the Weasel is upon you and you are ready to play. Each player is dealt a card face down. Once each player is dealt a card all cards are flipped simultaneously at the dealer's cry of "Come and get it!" The player's whose card is closest to the number 6 becomes the chosen one, and is immediately inhabited by the spirit of Spanky the Weasel. The player whose card is farthest away from the number 6 becomes Boppo the Unhappy Clown. More on that later. In the event of a tie between two players a thumb wrestling match must take place, with the winner becoming the weasel and the loser Boppo. A three or more way tie is considered a non-deal, as the oath was obviously not done with the proper love and inspiration. A re-deal is necessary.

To begin the game Boppo the Unhappy Clown must take a seat to the right of the Weasel and all other players must stand in a line before the Weasel. A game not unlike Simon Says now ensues where the   Weasel begins play by saying (in a high pitched, squeaky voice) "Flirtin' with the Weasel, Flirtin' with the Weasel, Weasel says...." followed by a command such as "jump". All players, with the exception of Boppo must perform the command. Play continues in the manner of Simon Says and mistakes are made as they are in the popular children's game. Here's an example: " Flirtin' with the Weasel, flirtin' with the Weasel, Weasel says jump.... Weasel says spin, Weasel says bark, drink...." Those who drank were of course in error and must drink until the Weasel feels he or she has done sufficient penance for their mistake. A particularly odious error would call for a particularly harsh punishment, a mild error a mild punishment. This player is now out of the round and a new round begins. Once all the player's have been eliminated the game is over.

Now, before the game ends, the players who have been ousted from a round are sure to be rather upset with themselves. Thus, each player who is forced from the game is allowed to take out their frustration upon Boppo the Unhappy Clown, hence his perpetual unhappiness. Each player, once finished his penance drinking for the Weasel, is allowed to make poor Boppo drink for a time equal to the penalty he or she received from the Weasel or, instead, perform an act of unspeakable stupidity. The Weasel, being the sadistic mammal that he is, will wait to begin the next round until this formality has been completed. The Weasel will now begin the next round as he did the first by saying, "Flirtin' with the Weasel, flirtin' with the Weasel, Weasel says..." Once all players have been ousted from the game the spirit of Spanky the Weasel will leave the body of the player who had been Weasel, however, he will remain in the room for as long as you like. Start a new game with the oath, for the Weasel may no longer be in his layer but he is not above enjoying gratuitous adulation. Deal the cards to select a new Weasel and a new Boppo. You only need the Salsa if you like chips with your games.
