Kings of Ukraine

Three Rounds of Mayhem

• Round 1 – Class & Honor: Everyone’s on the same team. Stay classy. No cheating.
• Round 2 – Team Battle: Optional team mode. Teammates work together. Sabotage allowed.
• Round 3 – Free-for-All: Everyone is on their own. Ruthless chaos. Sabotage encouraged.

🔄 Drink Setup (Each Round)

1. Choose Pools: Pool A = liquor. Pool B = mixers. Use what you have.
2. Set Up Numbered Cups: Each drink type gets its own cup.
3. Shoot For Your Drink:
   • Round 1: Shoot for your own. Layout agreed by all. Long distance.
   • Round 2: One teammate shoots. Opponent picks the layout.
   • Round 3: Shoot for someone else. Last place picks first.

Each event can only happen once per round. Stay alert, call them out, and follow through.

• 🚪 Knock Knock: Someone joins or knocks? Everyone takes a shot before speaking.
• 🌧️ Precipitation Shift: If it starts or stops raining, add 2 shots of water to your mixed drink.
• ⏰ Matching Minute: Call out a time like 2:22 or 11:11. Everyone adds a portion of your drink to theirs.
• 🎵 Strange Song: A weird song in the playlist? If someone points it out, the round resets. New drinks. 25-minute break.
• 🃏 Card Match: Two cards of the same number drawn back-to-back? Play that number’s Kings Rule before the challenge.
• 📈 Card Streak:
  • Same Direction (e.g. 2, 4, 6): Skip your turn if noticed.
  • Opposite Direction (e.g. 10, 8, 6): Do an extra challenge if caught.
• 🪙 Double Down: Once per game, play blackjack with your two card totals. Win? Keep the card. Lose? Double drink, no card.

• 🕒 30-Minute Timer: Each round starts with a 30-minute countdown. If time runs out, the player who drank the most wins that round.
• ⏱️ Two Timeouts Per Player: Each player gets two 2-minute timeouts total. You can use one during a break to extend it or at round end to stretch the timer.
• 📏 Timeout Rules:
  • Only one timeout per break.
  • Only one timeout per round-end extension.
  • Must wait 5 minutes between timeouts.

• ❓ No Questions: Asking questions while the clock is running forces you to drink for 3 seconds.
• 🃏 Automatic Play Rule: If someone familiar with the game mentions “The Kings of Ukraine,” a round must be played.
• 🏆 Winning: You keep cards from won challenges. Lost challenges return the card to the deck.
• ♣️ Final Showdown: After all rounds, players use 2 won cards in a final Texas Hold’em hand. No cards = elimination.
• 🚫 Safety Vote: If safety is a concern, a majority can vote to remove a player from the game.
• 🕵️ Cheating: Caught cheating = penalty drinks equal to last-place's total (1–3). Minimum penalty: 1 random Pool A shot + losing the current challenge.
• 🪙 Coin Challenge: Once per game, flip to skip a drink or challenge. Lose = 1.5× drink. You may use both on one item but lose = 2× drink.
• 🌿 Garnish Option: Once per game, avoid a punishment drink by choosing a random garnish (e.g., salt, sugar, hot sauce). Drink still counts against your total.
• 🥤 Spills: Spill your drink? You must take a sip from everyone’s drink + refill your own after cleaning.

🗓️ Turn Order

• First turn goes to whoever has the next birthday.
• Rounds continue from where the last one ended.

🚫 Round End Conditions

• Round ends if:
  • Shots + beers taken ≥ 2.5× number of players (e.g., 4 players → 10 total drinks).
  • Or any one player drinks 4 or more shots/beers.
• Note: This does not include the original mixed drinks created at the start of the round.

🕒 Between-Round Breaks

• 25-minute break between rounds.
• Unfinished drinks carry over:
  • Must finish remainder plus an equal drink in the next round.
  • Each unfinished drink = 0.5-point penalty in next round.

🏁 Final Victory Rules

• After the final round, players have 15 minutes to finish their drinks.
• If you finish in time, you may enter the final poker round.
• Final Game: Each remaining player selects two cards they’ve won.
• All unselected cards are reshuffled to form the poker deck.
• Players compete in a 5-card draw poker game. Winner takes the crown.
• Players with fewer than two won cards are eliminated.

🎯 Round Challenge Rules

• Challenges are divided into distinct categories.
• Each player gets one category dispute per round to:
  • Force their own challenge to a category of their choice, or
  • Force another player’s challenge to a specific category.
• Disputes cannot be canceled once called. The Death challenge is immune to disputes.
• Challenges are drawn using a full deck of cards—each card corresponds to a specific challenge.
• If the challenge requires a fresh deck (e.g. ride the bus), reshuffle the entire deck first.
• Jokers grant a special bonus:
  • If drawn, you keep it.
  • It can be played before a challenge to double the drink penalty for any contestant.
