King's Cup is a popular drinking game that is typically played with a group of people. The game involves drawing cards from a deck, with each card having a specific rule or action associated with it. The rules vary depending on the version of the game being played, but common rules include assigning drinks, creating a rule that everyone must follow, and performing challenges or dares.
Variations
Reverse Kings Cup: In this variation, the regular game is played in reverse order. This means that the person who draws a card has to give the instructions to the person on their left. This can make the game more challenging and confusing.
Category Kings Cup: For this variant, each card has a category associated with it. When a card is drawn, the player must come up with something that fits the category. For example, if the category is "types of fruit," the player might say "apple" or "banana." If they can't think of anything, they have to take a drink.
Movie Kings Cup: In this version, each card is associated with a movie or TV show. When a card is drawn, the player must act out a scene from the movie or TV show. If other players can guess the movie or TV show, they don't have to drink. If no one can guess it, the player who drew the card has to take a drink.
Speed Kings Cup: This variant is played at a faster pace than the regular game. When a card is drawn, the first person to perform the action gets to give out the drinks. This can make the game more exciting and competitive.
Single Rule Kings Cup: In this version, only one rule is in effect throughout the entire game. For example, every time a player draws a two, they have to take a drink. This simplifies the game and allows players to focus on one rule instead of trying to remember multiple rules.
Truth or Dare Kings Cup: In this variant, each card is associated with a truth or a dare. When a player draws a card, they have to choose between answering a truth question or completing a dare. If they refuse, they have to take a drink.
GAME RULES
The rules for Kings Cup vary depending on who you're playing with, but here are some common rules:
Players sit in a circle around a table with a cup in the center.
Spread a deck of cards face-down around the cup in a circle.
Each player takes turns drawing a card from the circle and follows the corresponding rule for the card they drew.
Ace - "Waterfall" - Everyone starts drinking at the same time, and no one can stop until the person to their right stops.
Two - "You" - The player who drew the card chooses another player to drink.
Three - "Me" - The player who drew the card drinks.
Four - "Floor" - Everyone must touch the floor, and the last person to do so drinks.
Five - "Guys" - All the men in the group drink.
Six - "Chicks" - All the women in the group drink.
Seven - "Heaven" - Everyone points to the ceiling, and the last person to do so drinks.
Eight - "Mate" - The player who drew the card chooses another player to be their "mate," and they must drink whenever the player who drew the card drinks.
Nine - "Rhyme" - The player who drew the card says a word, and everyone else must say a word that rhymes with it. The first player who can't think of a word or repeats a word drinks.
Ten - "Categories" - The player who drew the card chooses a category (e.g., types of fruit), and everyone else takes turns saying something that fits into that category. The first player who can't think of something or repeats something drinks.
Jack - "Make a Rule" - The player who drew the card makes up a rule, and anyone who breaks it drinks.
Queen - "Questions" - The player who drew the card asks a question, and the player to their left must answer with another question. The first player who can't think of a question or answers with a statement drinks.
King - "Pour" - The player who drew the card pours some of their drink into the cup in the center. The person who draws the fourth and final king must drink the entire contents of the cup.
Remember, these rules are just a guideline, and you can make up your own rules or modify them to fit your group's preferences.
GAME SETUP
Kings Cup, also known as Circle of Death, is a popular drinking game that can be played with a deck of cards and a large cup or mug. Here is how to set up the game:
Arrange a group of people around a table or in a circle on the floor.
Place a large cup or mug in the center of the group.
Shuffle a deck of cards and place them in a stack, face down, next to the cup.
Assign a rule to each card in the deck (see next question for common rules).
Choose a player to go first, and have them draw the top card from the deck.
The player must follow the rule assigned to the card they drew.
The game continues clockwise around the circle, with each player drawing a card and following the rule.
If a player breaks a rule or hesitates for too long, they must take a drink and the game continues.
The game ends when all of the cards have been drawn and the final rule is completed.
The player who draws the last card must chug the contents of the cup in the center of the table.
