Drinking game: King

King 👑 – Detailed rules for the drinking game

Game preparation:

• Number of players: 3-10 players (can also be played with larger groups).

• Required material: No accessories needed , just drinks for all players.

• Goal of the game: Avoid making mistakes when saying numbers and keep track of the numbers so you don't have to drink too much!

Game play:

1. Game start:

   • The players sit together in a circle or at a table.

   • One player is randomly chosen as the starting player (e.g. by rock, paper, scissors or the youngest player).

2. Counting the numbers:

   • The players take turns counting in ascending order from 1 to infinity. The first player begins with the number 1 , the next player says 2 , the player after that says 3 , and so on.

   • The numbers must be said loud and clear.

3. The "King" rule:

   • If a number is divisible by 3 (e.g. 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, …), the player must say “King” instead of the number .

   • This means that any player who calls a number that is divisible by 3 must replace it with “King.”

   • Anyone who forgets and simply says the number without saying “King” has to take a drink .

4. Collect errors:

   • The mistake is counted, and whoever makes five mistakes (i.e., forgets to say “King” five times) is the overall loser of the game.

   • The overall loser has to drink the glass, which means he has to finish his drink in one go.

5. Whoever counts the mistakes:

   • It's important that all players pay attention and watch out for each other's mistakes. If someone makes a mistake on the number "King" (saying the number instead of "King"), the error is immediately noted by the other players.

   • The mistake only counts if the other players notice it, so it is important to pay attention.

Additional rules and variations:

• Double fault: If a player makes two mistakes in a row (e.g. two consecutive numbers that are divisible by 3), he must take a double sip instead of a sip.

• Risk of confusion: If a player pronounces the number “King” incorrectly or switches to another language (e.g. “Roi” instead of “King”), this is also considered a mistake and he must drink.

• Variety: For particularly good or fast rounds, the number divided by 5 could be introduced additionally, so that for numbers that are divisible by 5 (e.g. 5, 10, 15, 20), a "King" must also be said instead of the number.

• Increased Pressure: As the game progresses, a timer can be added to increase the tempo. The player must then say their number or "King" in less time to increase the pressure.

Perfect for:

• Groups who are good at mental math , or those who want to have a fun and challenging time together. It's a game that requires speed and concentration—ideal for larger groups.

• It gets exciting when there are so many players that you have almost no time to think, which increases the error rate and leads to more laughs.

Conclusion: " King " is a simple yet highly entertaining drinking game that ensures a good time. It promotes concentration and can make players laugh quite a bit if they don't manage to say "King" in time. A great game to start a relaxed or even chaotic party.
