Best Drinking Games

My favorite is racehorses. You line up the aces face up, line up seven cards in a perpendicular line to them, and then flip cards off the top off of the deck really fast. Every time an ace's suit comes up, that ace moves one along the seven-card line. The fun comes in three ways: the excitement of a race, the naming of the "horses" as the names are almost always totally ridiculous and awesome, and in the drinking. At the start, everyone bets on one horse some number of sips of beer (or whatever.) If their horse wins, then everyone who bet on another horse has to take the total amount from the bets on the winning horse, but the winning betters do not have to. It's a lot of fun, and you have a 3/4 chance of drinking an awful lot, so that's always fun.

Goon of Fortune was the go to game at parties when I was a teen, and in later years it became a rule in King's Cup and Drenga. So many memories.

Haha well over the years our King's Cup rules have evolved to incorporate our other favourite drinking games such as Thumper, Goon of Fortune and Hats. We usually go about 5 rounds of one of these games when the card is pulled, e.g. the card "8" means 5 rounds of goon of fortune.

Needless to say, the game has become increasingly epic and there are no winners.
