Introduction

The “Copa del Rey,” or “King’s Cup,” is one of Spain’s most celebrated football competitions, renowned for its drama and excitement. To honor this tradition, we’ve crafted a drinking game that captures the tournament’s intensity and unpredictability. Gather your friends, prepare your materials, and get ready for a night that mirrors the highs and lows of the beautiful game.

Materials Needed

  • Beverages: Stock up on your preferred drinks. Consider using Spanish-themed beverages like sangria or your favorite cerveza for an authentic touch.
  • Television or Streaming Device: To watch the Copa del Rey matches.
  • Scoreboard: A simple whiteboard or a piece of paper to keep track of points.
  • Shot Glasses: For special round challenges.
  • Snacks: To keep everyone fueled and ready.

How to Play

Setup

  1. Divide into Teams: Much like the teams in the Copa del Rey, split your friends into two groups. Each team represents a side in the tournament.
  2. Assign Roles: Each team should have a captain, a scorekeeper, and a referee to ensure fair play.

Game Rules

  1. Kick-off Drink: Start with a toast to the Copa del Rey. Each player takes a sip of their drink to begin.

  2. Match Events:
    • Goal Scored: Every time a team scores in the match being watched, the opposing team must take two sips.
    • Foul: Whenever a foul occurs, all players must take a sip.
    • Penalty: If a penalty is awarded, the team that concedes must take a shot.
  3. Special Rounds:
    • Halftime Challenge: During halftime, hold a mini-football quiz. The losing team drinks.
    • Extra Time: If the match goes into extra time, each player finishes their drink as a tribute to the extended play.
  4. Final Whistle:
    • At the end of the match, the losing team must perform a celebratory dance for the winners, followed by a toast to sportsmanship.

Safety and Fun

Remember, the key to a successful game night is ensuring everyone has fun responsibly. Encourage players to drink water, take breaks, and know their limits. The spirit of the Copa del Rey is about celebration and camaraderie, so ensure everyone feels included and enjoys the game.
