How to play Kings

Kings, also called Ring of Fire or King’s Cup, is a party game for a group. Place an empty cup in the middle, take turns drawing a card and follow the rule for that card. CardSuffly shows the rule on screen, so nobody has to remember them.

Every time a king is drawn, the player pours some of their drink into the King’s Cup. Whoever draws the fourth king drinks it, and the game ends.

House rules and playing responsibly

Every group plays a slightly different version – agree on any changes before you start. Drinks do not need to be alcoholic: soft drinks or water work just as well. Only play if you are of legal drinking age, and never drink and drive.
