- Spread the cards face-down in a circle around the King’s Cup.
- Players take turns drawing cards and follow the rule for each card (e.g., 2 is “you,” 5 is “guys,” 8 is “mate,” etc.).
- Each King drawn means pouring some of your drink into the cup. The person who draws the last King chugs the King’s Cup!
Why it’s a hit:
It’s the ultimate meme drinking game—rules can be tweaked, dares added, and chaos guaranteed.
