How the Game Ends:
The name of the game is “Kings” Kup, or "Kings Cup". There are 4 Kings in this deck. When a person pulls one of the first 3 kings, they must pour some of their personal drink into the Signature Kings Kup mug in the center of the table. The person who pulls the 4th king must consume the contents of the Kings Kup mug and the game is over!!!
Now here is a description of the Official & Original Rules of Kings Cup:
- Ace “Social” = Everyone at the table raise your glasses together, cheers each other and take a drink!
- 2 “Two is for you”= This rule means that the person pulling the card is allowed to pass out a total of 2 drinks to anyone @ the table!
- 3 “Three is for me” = The person pulling the card must take 3 drinks!
- 4 “Four is for whores” = Don’t be offended ladies. It is an honor to drink @ the Kings Kup table and each one of you must take a drink if a 4 is pulled!
- 5 “Five up high” = The last lazy person to raise their hand in the group must drink some of their own beverage!
- 6 “Six is for dicks” = Guys raise your glasses because you all have to take a drink!
- 7 “Seven is waterfall” = The person who pulled this card controls the waterfall, and chooses the direction the waterfall will go. The idea is that everyone starts drinking their own beverage @ the same time. Whoever pulled the 7 is the first person that can stop drinking. No one else @ the table can stop until the person in front of them has stopped!
- 8 “Eight pick a mate”= Pick any one person @ the table to drink with you. “Cheers partner!”
- 9 “Nine bust a rhyme” = The person who pulls this card starts the rhyme (either choose a single word or a short phrase for everyone to rhyme with). Play quickly around the table. If someone should stumble, or fails to rhyme, they must drink!
- 10 “Ten is categories” = The person who pulls this card will choose a category, which everyone must name an item in that category. (example; types of “car companies” Ford…Chevy…Toyota…BMW…etc.) Play quickly and be creative, make this one FUN!
- Jack “Make a rule” = If you pull this card, make a rule that everyone must follow for the rest of the game (example: The “No cussing” rule - means you cannot swear/curse during the entire game, & if you do you must drink). Check KingsKup.com, click on "Jack & Joker Rules" for more rule ideas!!!
- Queen “Question” = The Idea behind this rule is to NEVER answer a question. When you pull this card, quickly ask anyone @ the table a question. They must then ask someone else a question instead of answering yours. If you ANSWER OR PAUSE too long you must drink!
- King “1,2,3 pour, 4 drink” = If you pull one of the first three kings, pour any amount of your beverage into the Kings Kup mug. If you pull the fourth and final king, the game is over and you must drink the entire contents of the Kings Kup mug…Congratulations You are the WINNER of Kings Kup!
- Joker “Get Wild” = The Best Rule in Kings Kup is “Make a Rule”. Well…we have taken it a step further and ask that you think outside the box.
