The central 4x4 area forms the King's Court. The starting setup places the green and orange pieces on the 48 squares surrounding the Court. The opening moves have both players enter a piece onto the Court from opposing sides (no jumping yet). From that point on, a piece must be present on the Court at all times -otherwise the player loses. A king dealt to the layout can be moved into the corner by the first player. Playing any card onto a layoff space that has become empty during play. If you play your last card during your turn, you win. Scoring: At the end of the game, losers pay 10 chips for each king they hold, while every other card costs one chip. Winner collects all the.

Players

Two or more players

Cards

Normal playing cards. One 52 card deck for two players, two decks for three or four people. It doesn't really matter after that as long as you have enough cards to play with.

The Deal

This game has eleven rounds. The first dealer is chosen at random and the turn to deal passes to the left after each round. In the first round three cards are dealt to each player, in the second round four cards are dealt and so on until the eleventh and last round in which thirteen cards each are dealt. The remainder of the cards are placed face down on the table to form a stock pile. The top card of the stock is being flipped face up and put beside the stock pile to start the discard pile.

Object of the Game

The object of the game is to form all the cards in your hand into combinations. There are two types of valid combination:

1. a set or group of three or more cards of the same rank, such as 5-5-5. When playing with more than one deck it is possible for a set to contain identical cards, for example 9-9-9.
2. a run or sequence of three or more cards in the same suit, such as 4-5-6

Combinations can contain more than three cards - for example four sevens or 8-9-10-J-Q of a suit. However, you cannot count the same card as part of more than one combination. For example 5-6-7-6-6 is either a set of sixes with a 5 and 7 of spades left over, or a run of spades with two sixes left over.

Aces rank low in this game, so A-2-3 is a valid sequence but Q-K-A is not.

Wild Cards

Kings Cup Drinking Game Rules - HobbyLark - Games And Hobbies

In each round there is a wild card. It is the card equal to the number of cards dealt. Wild cards can be used in place of any other card in making a group or sequence. You can even make a set that consists of only wild cards if you wish. Below is a list of wild cards by round:

• Round 1 Threes are wild.
• Round 2 Fours are wild.
• Round 3 Fives are wild.
• Round 4 Sixes are wild.
• Round 5 Sevens are wild.
• Round 6 Eights are wild.
• Round 7 Nines are wild.
• Round 8 Tens are wild.
• Round 9 Jacks are wild.
• Round 10 Queens are wild.
• Round 11 Kings are wild.

The Play

The player to dealer's left begins, and players take turns clockwise around the table. A turn consists of drawing one card - either the top card of the face down stock or the top card of the discard pile - and then discarding one card face up on top of the discard pile. Note that only the top card of the discard pile can be taken.

Going Out

You can go out at your turn to play if, after drawing the top card of the stock or the top discard, you are able to arrange all the cards in your hand except one into separate sets, and then discard a card. In this case, when discarding you announce that you are out. Each of the other players is allowed one more turn. When the turn to play comes back to you the round is over and the scores are calculated.

Scoring

At the end of the round, each player arranges as much as possible of their hand into sets and runs. Any cards that are not included in a set or run are counted as penalty points against the holder as follows:

The scores are accumulated from round to round, and whoever has the lowest score at the end of the eleventh round is the winner.

Note that in this form of rummy, players are not allowed to dispose of cards by adding them to other players' sets or runs. Combinations are made only from your own hand, and any cards not included are penalty cards.

Variations

Some play that Aces can be used as high or low - so A-K-Q is a valid sequence. In this case an Ace remaining in your hand at the end costs 15 points, rather than one.

Some groups score 11 points for Jacks, 12 for Queens and 13 for Kings.

Some groups include Jokers as additional wild cards. In that case, a joker left in your hand at the end of a round scores 20 penalty points.

For large groups of players, Stan Stone has invented 3-13 Speed, in which the play is speeded up by means of simultaneous drawing and discarding, controlled by a caller.

A proprietary version of 3-13 using a special five-suited pack, has been published under the name Five Crowns.

Kings Court Drinking Card Game Rules

Jared Mellentine has contributed a variation Deuces Aren't Wild with an additional 14-card round and a bonus round in the event of a tie.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of Kings Corner is to get rid of all your cards into eight piles in a solitaire fashion. The game starts with four piles, four more may be added during play to the corners. These can be started with Kings.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2+ players

NUMBER OF CARDS: single 52-card decks

RANK OF CARDS: K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-A (ace low)

TYPE OF GAME: Solitaire type

AUDIENCE: Family

THE DEAL

The first dealer is chosen randomly and the position moves clockwise after each hand. The dealer gives each player 7 cards. The remaining cards are put in the center to create the ‘stock pile,’ from this pile 4 cards are chosen off the top and flipped face-up. These cards are placed North, South, East, and West of the stockpile, these cards begin the foundation piles.

THE PLAY

Starting from the left of the dealer, play moves clockwise. On a single turn, players have the opportunity to make any number of these moves and in any order:

1. Play on the foundation piles from your hand. If you play a card, it must be the next lower rank and the color opposite. For example, you can play a red Jack on a black Queen. Slightly overlap cards in the foundation pile so that they all can be seen. Aces are the lowest card and no other card can be played on top of it.
2. Use a King to start one of the King’s corners. These cards go in the diagonal corners of the foundation piles (NE, NW, SE, SW). Kings may be built upon like any other foundation pile.
3. Move one foundation pile onto another. You may do this if the bottom card of one foundation is one rank lower and the opposite color of the foundation it’s being moved to.
4. Play any card on an empty foundation spot (because the pile had been moved).

Kings In The Corner - Wikipedia

The first player to empty their hand is the winner and the game ends. After you have played as many cards as you can or wish in a turn you must draw one card from the stockpile. If you are unable to make a play, simply draw a card from the stock pile and the next player’s turn begins.

Kings dealt into the foundational piles may be moved to the corners. Player left to the dealer has the opportunity to replace the King in the foundational pile layout. Cards in the foundational pile that may be consolidated (one of the cards is one lower rank and the opposite color). Player left of the dealer can consolidate and replace that card in the layout.

In the event, the stockpile runs dry, continue playing without drawing.

The play ends when one player manages to play all their cards or there is an impasse, no cards can be drawn or played.

SCORING

Players receive penalties (in the form of points) for cards left in their hands.

Kings Drinking Game

• King = 10 points
• All other cards = 1 point

Points are summed from deal to deal until a player reaches or passes the target score. Target scores are agreed upon before game play, typically they are between 25-50 points. The winner of the game is the player that has the lowest number of points.

VARIATION

A simple variation is after your 7 cards have been dealt, is to play the cards in your hand or draw from the deck until you can play a card. In this variation, if you consolidate two piles while you have no cards in your hand, that is considered a move. If during play you run out of cards but there is an open spot at either North, South, East, or West, you must draw three cards and continue playing.

A variation on scoring; Aces = 25 points, Face Cards and 10s = 10 points, Number Cards 2-9 = 5 points. In this version, the target score must be raised (~100-250).
