Kings Cup
Every card has a rule. Draw, follow it, and make your own rules along the way. Sips are optional.
How to play
- Read the card’s rule out loud. Everyone plays it.
- The player who loses the card usually takes a sip. Sips are always optional, and water counts.
- Tap whoever won the card. They score 1.
- Tap Next turn for the next card. Rules made with a Jack last the whole game.
Kings Cup: rules for every card
Kings Cup, also called Ring of Fire, is the classic card drinking game. Normally you need a deck of cards, a big cup in the middle and someone who remembers what each card means. This version runs on one phone and shows the rule for every card, so nobody has to look anything up.
Each rank has a rule, from Waterfall and Categories to Floor is Lava and Thumb Master, with variations so the night doesn’t repeat itself. Draw a Jack and you make a house rule that stays on screen for the rest of the game, so everyone remembers it.
Tap whoever wins each card to give them a point, and the scoreboard shows who survived best at the end. Kings Cup is best with 4 or more players and is for adults only, behind an age check.
Play responsibly. Every sip is optional, and water and soft drinks count just as much. If you want something gentler, Cocktail Roulette and Sip & Spill swap drinking rules for questions and stories.
Tips
- Agree on house rules before you start.
- Jack rules can last all game, so choose wisely.
- Pace yourselves and drink water.
