For this lesson, you're going to learn how to play King's Pitcher, which is also known as King's Cup. You're going to need a pitcher or large mug or cup, a deck of cards and your alcoholic beverages of choice.
Setup - Place the pitcher or cup in the middle of the table. After thoroughly shuffling the cards, fan them out in a ring around the pitcher. Make sure that all of the cards overlap and there aren't any gaps in the ring. Now choose someone to go first.
Each player can randomly choose any card out of the ring. However, you must be careful to not break the ring. If you pull a card and create a gap in the ring, you must take a shot. From that point on, the integrity of the card ring in no longer important.
Card Value:
2 - Give/Take 2 Drinks
3 - Give/Take 3 Drinks
4 - Whores (Girls Drink)
5 - Thumbmaster
6 - Dicks (Guys Drink)
7 - Give/Take 7 Drinks
8 - Give/Take 8 Drinks
9 - Rhyme Time
10 - Social (Everyone Drinks)
Jack - Category
Queen - Questions
King - King's Cup
Ace - Make a Rule
Give/Take ? Drinks - If your card is red, then you have to take tht many drinks. If your card is black, then you get to pass out that number of drinks. You can give all your drinks to one person or split them up between several people.
Thumbmaster - If you draw the 5, you are the Thumbmaster. Whenever the thumbmaster puts their thumb on the table, everyone else has to do the same. The last to do so has to drink. (This is a great way to penalize people who leave the table; we always run a drink tab for them.) There can only be one! If someone else draws a 5, then they become the thumbmaster.
Rhyme Time - The person drawing the 9 starts it off. They pick a word, then you go around the table saying other words that rhyme with it (no proper names). When someone repeats, can't come up with anything or says something that doesn't rhyme, they drink and the round is over. Oh, and the first word has to be able to be rhymed....no oranges!!
Category - The person to draw the Jack names a category and the first thing in it. You go around the table in order naming things in the category until someone repeats, names something not in the category or can' come up with anything. Then that person drinks and the round is over. Categories can be anything, such as: breeds of dog, Pepsi products, brands of condoms or Bruce Willis movies, etc. The only rule is there have to be enough items in the category to go around the table at least once.
Now, if you don't think there are enough items to go around the table, then you can challenge. If you challenge,the person that made the category must name X items, where X is the number of people playing. Loser has to take a shot, so challenge carefully.
Question - The person who draws the Queen start. For this one, you must only talk in questions without laughing. The difference is, you don't go around the table in order. The person asking the question looks at another player and ask their question. Then the person being looked at, can look back at the first person or look at someone else and ask another question. If you don't ask a question or laugh, you drink and the round is over. Remember, laughing counts, so use that as part of your strategy. I always like using "Do these pant make my dick look fat?"
Make a Rule - Your rule can be anything you want. Some of our favorites are no swearing or laughing, can't say "drink, drank or drunk", talk like a pirate or sit on a hand. Your rule stays in effect until the game is over or someone else nullifies it with their rule.
King's Cup - When the first three kings are drawn, the players that drew them dump some of their drink into the pitcher. They can pour as much or as little as they like, depending on how much they feel like gambling. When the fourth king is drawn, that person has to drink the contents of the pitcher, in a timely manner. This gets interesting when everyone playing is drinking different things. After the fourth king is drawn, the game is over.
Have fun and be safe. Remember, don't drink and drive!
