KINGS

DECK OF CARDS (9 - ACE) AND DRINKS.
PLAYERS TAKE TURNS TURNING OVER THE TOP CARD OF THE
DECK. IF A 9 IS TURNED OVER THE PERSON TO THE PLAYER'S RIGHT
DRINKS ONCE. IF A 10 IS TURNED THEN THE PERSON TO THE LEFT
DRINKS. IF IT'S A JACK THE PLAYER DRINKS. A QUEEN IS A SOCIAL
(EVERYONE DRINKS). AN ACE LETS THE PLAYER GIVE TWO DRINKS
TO SOMEONE ELSE AND A KING LETS EVERYONE POUR AS MUCH OF
THEIR BEER INTO THE "POT" (A LARGE GLASS IN THE CENTER)
AS THEY WANT. WHOEVER TURNS THE FINAL KING MUST DRINK
THE "POT." THEN A NEW GAME IS BEGUN.
