King and Asshole, also known as Kings and Servants, is a popular drinking game that combines strategy, luck, and social interaction. With a deck of cards and a group of friends, you can easily enjoy this game at any party or gathering. In this article, we will explore three different ways to play King and Asshole, each with its unique twist on the classic game.

1. Basic King and Asshole Rules

The basic rules are simple: players take turns drawing cards from the deck and performing various actions based on the card drawn. The goal is to become the “King” by acquiring four of a kind (meaning four cards with the same number). Once someone becomes the King, the game continues until all players have a rank, with the player drawing the lowest card becoming the “Asshole.”

– Setup: Shuffle a deck of cards and spread them face down in a circle.

– Turn Order: Players take turns drawing a card from the deck (clockwise).

– Card Actions: Each card drawn has a specific action or rule associated with it. Players must perform the action before their turn ends.

2. Action Cards Variant

In this variation of King and Asshole, specific cards are assigned specific actions as follows:

– Ace (A): Waterfall – The player who draws this card starts drinking, followed by others in clockwise order. Participants cannot stop until the person to their right stops.

– Two (2): Choose – The player can choose another person to drink.

– Three (3): Me – The drawer takes a drink.

– Four (4): Floor – All players reach for the floor; last one to do so drinks.

– Five (5): Guys – All male players drink.

– Six (6): Chicks – All female players drink.

– Seven (7): Heaven – All players point to the sky; last one drinks.

– Eight (8): Mate – The player chooses a “mate” who must drink whenever they do.

– Nine (9): Rhyme – The drawer says a word, and other players must rhyme with it in turn until someone messes up and has to drink.

– Ten (10): Categories – The drawer picks a category, and everyone must name something in that category. The first person to fail drinks.

– Jack (J): Social – Everyone drinks together.

– Queen (Q): Question Master – The player who draws this card becomes the Question Master until another Queen is drawn. If the Question Master asks another player a question and they answer, that player must drink.

– King (K): King’s Cup – Pour a shot into the center cup. When the fourth King is drawn, that person must drink the concoction.

3. Team-Based King and Asshole

In this version of King and Asshole, players form two teams to compete against each other in a race to become Kings. The team that collects four Kings first wins the game. While performing actions based on card rules remains the same, this variation adds an element of competition to the gameplay.

Now you have three unique ways to play King and Asshole at your next party or gathering. Choose the version that best suits your group, or mix things up by trying a new variation each time you play. Whichever you choose, remember to drink responsibly and have fun!
