The year-long wait to catch up with the District’s twisted (fictional) power couple is finally over: Season 3 of “House of Cards” will stream on Netflix starting Feb. 27 at midnight… Pacific Time.

When the last episode of Season 2 ended, Frank Underwood became president after he manipulated Garrett Walker into resigning, Claire Underwood experienced a rare moment of guilt after her military sexual assault awareness campaign turned sour and Doug Stamper was lying in the woods with his head bashed in.

Season 3 will undoubtedly present plot twists, but some things never change in the nation’s capital. Play our “House of Cards” drinking game as you binge watch – just be careful not to spiral downward the same way our dearly departed Peter Russo did.

Drink if…

Take a shot if…

Down your whole drink if…
