Kings, according to Wikipedia, is “common among college students in the United States.” For once, Wikipedia isn’t being a lying sack of crap; Kings really is popular with the drinking kind. And if you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about, please, go sit in the corner while I marvel at your blasphemy.
In Kings, cards are shuffled and arranged in a circle, usually around a can of beer. Players take turns choosing a card at random. Depending on what is drawn, different mini games are played. For example, if a 6 is pulled, all the “chicks” drink. If a 9 is chosen, the player says a word, then the players go round in a circle saying words that rhyme with that word. Anyone unable to come up with an original rhyme, drinks. One full set of rules can be found here. But, like the best games, Kings comes with variations. Everyone plays it a little differently; different cards mean different things to different dorms, frats, or entire campuses. Make up your own rules- and get drinking!
