King's Cup

A pass-the-phone King's Cup card game for a table of players sharing one device. Draw a card, honor its rule, keep the King's Cup filling.

For adults of legal drinking age. Every card works "dry" too — swap sips for any forfeit you like.

• Add 2–20 players, then pass the phone around the table.
• The app names the next player, they draw a card, and it shows that card's rule.
• Every rank carries a rule: Waterfall, You, Me, Floor, Guys, Chicks, Heaven, Mate, Rhyme, Categories, Make a Rule, Question Master, and King's Cup.
• Mates, house rules and the Question Master persist for the rest of the game.
• The fourth King fills the cup and ends the game.
• Before you start you can rewrite any card's rule and add your own house rules.

There is no server and no account. The whole game state — players, deck, drawn cards, mates, rules and whose turn it is — is written to localStorage after every action. Refresh the page or close the tab and the game resumes on the same turn. Reset clears the saved game and returns to setup.
