Social Games: King’s Game

King’s Cups Rules

Put a large cup; the king’s cup (eyebrow raise*), in the center of a table and have everyone gather ’round like papa’s story time.

Each player takes turns drawing cards and following the instructions corresponding to each card.

An example of a card would be ‘raise your hand to heaven’ if you draw a ‘7’. The last person to do so takes a drink.
