How to Play Ring of Fire
- Ace: Slap Your Face – The last person to slap themselves in the face must drink.
- Two: Fuck You – Choose someone to down their drink.
- Three: Toilet Card – You cannot leave the table without this card, use it at any time.
- Four: Fuck Me – Down all of your own drink.
- Five: High Five – Last one with their hand in the air drinks.
- Six: Make a Fix – This is your chance to make up any game rule you want, anything, and everyone must obey! Don’t let it go to your head.
- Seven: Categories – Pick a category, each person in the circle has to name one thing relating to your chosen category. Keep going until someone messes up; they drink.
- Eight: Pick a Mate – Choose a friend. They now have to drink whenever you do, for the rest of the game. Cheers Mate!
- Nine: Bust a Rhyme – Pick a word, each player has to rhyme with that word, going around the circle until someone fails.
- Ten: Waterfall – A Mexican wave drinking. The card holder starts, players can only start and stop drinking once the person before them has.
- Jack: Thumb Master – At any point the Thumbmaster can place their thumb on their face or the table’s edge. Everyone must copy; the last one to catch on drinks.
- Queen: Question Master – Ignore all questions from this card holder on pain of… drinking. Their objective is to catch you out. The title passes to the next player who picks a Queen.
- King: King’s Cup – All players add to a central dirty pint. The player who picks the 4th King is the recipient of the King’s Cup.
