This or that holds 76 short pairs, such as Sip hot cider or sip hot cocoa. On the end card, Print gives the 76 as slips; from All it takes a random 120 of the 150. Hard holds 24 cards where both options cost you something, such as Give up fall color forever or give up spring flowers forever.
During a Friday night game, press Football season for 18 cards and deal one at each timeout.
