Majority Rules

• A drink each

Find a group of participants to play, the more the better. Not much set up needed for this one, all players must have filled drinks and be ready to play.

Guess the same as the king by showing a hand or a fist to prevent yourself from drinking and losing lives

Each player has 3 lives

The player left of the host goes first by announcing that they are king and counting down from 3. Once the countdown ends, everyone including the king must show a fist or a hand.

If a player matches with the king, they are safe

If all players match with the king, the king must take 4 sips from their own royal goblet and all other players gain a life

If a player guesses differently to the king, they must take 2 sips from their drink and lose 1 of their lives

After each round of showing fists and hands, the king status switches to the next person in the circle which proceeds clockwise.

When a player has lost all lives, they must finish their drink and remove themself from the game. The game continues until there is only 1 player left, who remains the king and can pass out forfeits to the losers.

• No delays allowed in showing fists or hands
• king status only remains for one round
• No lying about how many lives you have remaining

Modified rules

• The king retains status whilst they are in the majority
• If all players guess differently to the king, the king loses a life as well (apart from the final round with only 2 people)
