Kings Cup - Drinking Game Rules & How to Play

The classic card game where each card has a rule - draw and drink!

Equipment Needed

Place a large cup (the King's Cup) in the center of the table. Spread a deck of cards face-down in a circle around the cup.

Each card has a specific rule:
Ace (Waterfall): Everyone drinks. The person who drew can stop when they want, then the next person can stop, and so on around the circle.
2 (You): Point at someone - they drink.
3 (Me): You drink.
4 (Floor): Last person to touch the floor drinks.
5 (Guys): All guys drink.
6 (Chicks): All girls drink.
7 (Heaven): Last person to point up drinks.
8 (Mate): Pick a drinking buddy - when you drink, they drink.
9 (Rhyme): Say a word, go around the circle rhyming. First to fail drinks.
10 (Categories): Name a category, go around naming items. First to fail drinks.
Jack (Make a Rule): Create a rule everyone must follow.
Queen (Question Master): You're the Question Master until someone else draws a Queen.
King (Pour): Pour some of your drink into the King's Cup. Fourth King drinks it all.

Keep track of rules! The Question Master and rule maker rules stack, so things can get complicated. Pace yourself.

Some variations include: California Kings (different rules), Sociables (all drink), or adding custom house rules.
