How to Play

King's Cup is a drinking game using playing cards. When the first 3 Kings are drawn by players they will each put some of their drink into a cup in the center. When the fourth King is drawn, that person will, unfortunately, have to drink whatever is in that center, King Cup. Although there are generic "rules" to the game there are also different rules for different cities. So, be careful when someone pulls cards out and asks to play King's Cup! There are also new decks specifically for King's Cup, so looks like you have plenty of options for the next game night.
