King's Cup

King's Cup is an online drinking game for playing with friends. Players draw cards from a circle and place them face up on the cup in the center; each card prompts an action for the player who drew it or for everyone. The game recommends at least three players.

Card rules

The game includes Standard and Birthday Bash rulesets, and you can create your own rules with the rules editor. In Standard, the cards assign these actions:

• Ace — Waterfall: Everyone drinks in turn, starting with the player who drew the card. Each player can stop only after the player before them stops.
• 2 — You: The player who drew the card chooses someone to drink.
• 3 — Me: The player who drew the card drinks.
• 4 — Ladies: All ladies drink.
• 5 — Thumb Master: The player who drew the card becomes Thumb Master. When they press T or right-click, their cursor becomes a thumbs-up; everyone responds, and the last to do so drinks.
• 6 — Lords: All lords drink.
• 7 — Heaven: Everyone presses W or the Up Arrow to point toward heaven. The last to respond drinks.
• 8 — Date: The player who drew the card chooses a date. Whenever either of them drinks, both drink.
• 9 — Rhyme: The player who drew the card says a word, then players take turns saying rhyming words until someone runs out of ideas.
• 10 — Categories: The player who drew the card names a category and gives the first example. Players continue naming items in it until someone cannot think of another.
• Jack — Make a Rule: The player who drew the card creates a table rule. Anyone who breaks it drinks.
• Queen — Question Master: The player who drew the card becomes Question Master. Anyone who answers one of their questions drinks.
• King — Viking King: The player who drew the card becomes Viking King and can summon everyone to row at any time. Players take turns pressing A and D to row, and the last to finish drinks.
