Then the person who picked the card announces something they haven’t done. If you’re not aware of ‘never have I ever’, the game starts with everyone putting up five fingers. Jack represents the game ‘never have I ever’ and after picking up the card the group must play one round. Jack is arguably one of the most exciting cards to pick as it allows you to learn some of the sordid secrets of the players. Whoever can’t think of anything or makes a repeat must down two fingers of drink. Then each player must choose something that fits into that category.įor example, the player who picked up the card may choose ‘types of fruit’ and the rest of the players will have to pick fruit, such as a lemon or strawberry. Ten is ‘categories’ meaning the player who chose the card must pick a category. Some players like to add this one into the mix instead. This goes on until somebody can’t think of a new word, or until someone repeats a word. The idea is that the player who picked the card must say a word, and everybody goes around the circle saying a word that rhymes with it.įor example, a super-simple word would be ‘tall’ and other players could say ‘mall’, ‘wall’, or ‘call’. Nine is ‘bust a rhyme’ and depending on how creative the group is, this card can be a lot of fun. It’s the perfect way to show your crush that you’re interested in them or just to try to pick on someone to get them drunk. That means the player can choose anyone in the game to partner up with them, meaning when one of them drinks, they both must.

This carries on until someone messes up the dance and has to drink.ĭrunken uncoordinated dancers, what’s not to love? Six = Dicks The next person must then copy the dance move and add an extra spin to it. Five is ‘bust a jive’, meaning the person that picks up the card must break a dance move. If you get a 4, give out 2 drinks and take 2 drinks. Not one of my favorites among the traditional king’s cup rules, so here’s a variation: The four card involves the ladies by telling them they are ‘whores’ and they all must drink. Three is ‘me’, which means you must chug two fingers of your own drink. This means you can pick one person to take two drinks, or two people to each take one drink. Two is fairly simple and is the classic ‘you’. So you must always wait until the person to your left has stopped before you can stop.Īs you can imagine, the last person to stop drinking can end up getting pretty plastered! This rule also gives great opportunity to poke fun at those who can’t handle chugging their alcohol. Once they’ve stopped drinking, the next person clockwise to them can choose when to stop, and so on.
