Take a gamble on a trip. Four people, one dice, a poker face. Trip Poker is a travel game for four or more people. Your itinerary in this instance is created by rolling a dice, but you can easily adapt the rules to a game of poker.

1) The person who rolls the highest number wins the first round and gets to choose the destination. The destination should lie within a specified distance of where the game is being played, eg 500km.
2) The winner of the second roll decides the date of the weekend away.
3) The winner of the third roll determines the type of accommodation, eg hotel, camping, in the car, at someone's house, under the stars, no accommodation - and no sleep!
4) The person who loses the last roll of the dice pays for the weekend.

Unlike your average poker game, this one uses dice, not cards. While the rules can be altered if playing with cards, for simplicity's sake we'd recommend avoiding a deck created by pranksters of the art movement Fluxus - they tend to have 52 jokers...

Experimental Traveller Jöel Henry:
Playing Trip Poker is a real wild card - there's no knowing where you'll end up, and, if the chips are down, there's no passing the buck. Unlike normal poker, there's no clear winner in this game; you're all in it together, which certainly helps to up the ante. That said, there is a clear loser, as I discovered when the roll of the dice chose me to foot the bill for our excursion. Turns out spending New Year's Eve sleeping in a Mini Cooper at minus 15°C wasn't that expensive after all. Make no mistake, despite its innocent exterior, Trip Poker is a cousin of Russian roulette.
