Ring of Fire Drinking Game Rules:
Players: 4 or more
Materials: Deck of Cards, Plenty of Booze
Object: To have a lot of fun and socialize
Directions: The deck of cards is placed face-down, spread out in a circle or ring. Players sit around the ring and the person the most sober goes first. They pick up a card and must follow the rule that applies to that card.
WHAT THE CARDS MEAN:
2
– Make a Rule. The player can make up any rule they wish. Example: Everyone must salute before taking a drink, every time!
3 – Propose a Toast. The player can make a toast to anything they like and everyone must drink to it.
4 – Four Fingers. The player is allowed to assign any other players a drink worth four finger lengths. They may split them up among different players, or give them all to one person.
5 – King of the Ring. The player is now King and they
may make anyone drink at any point during the game until a new King is elected.
6 – Ladies Drink. All ladies playing must take a drink.
7 – Categories. The player selects a category and everyone in turn around the circle must name something in that category. Examples: Sport Cars, Designers, Athletes, etc… As soon as one person finishes saying their word, the next person has 2 seconds to say their word. Whenever it gets to someone who can’t think of anything, they must
drink.
8 – Gents Drink. All guys playing must take a drink.
9 – Busta Rhyme. The player must think of a word and everyone takes turns rhyming with it until someone can’t think of one.
10 – Snap. Without saying anything the player must put the card down face up where everyone can reach. All players must snap their hand on top of the card. Last player to slap their hand on the pile drinks.
JACK – Thumbmaster. This player is now the
Thumbmaster. They may place their thumb anywhere visible and all the other players must copy. The last player to notice drinks. The Thumbmaster may use this at any time during the game.
QUEEN – Questionmaster. This player can ask any other player whatever they like and they must answer.
KING – Eyemaster. Any other player caught looking at the Eyemaster during the game must drink.
ACE – Waterfall. The player is now the starter of the Waterfall. Everyone
stands up and the first player starts to drink/chug their drink. the next person in line must start immediately after the person to their right and cannot stop until they do. This applies to every player. It gets difficult when a champion chugger gets the Waterfall card.
Another version is: instead of a King being the Eyemaster, the first 3 people to turn up a king, pour a swig of their drink into a cup in the middle of the table (no matter what they are drinking). The 4th
King to be turned up is the lucky devil that gets to drink the concoction.

What is Ring of Fire drinking?
OVERVIEW OF RING OF FIRE
Ring of Fire is a drinking game where players draw cards from around the king's cup. Based on the card drawn that player or many players will have to drink according to rules based on the card drawn. The game ends when the last king is drawn and the player drinks from the King's cup.
What does Jack mean in Ring of Fire?
Jack - Make a rule. The player who drew the card makes a new rule (e.g. you can't say the word 'yes' or you can't put your drink down) and anyone who breaks the rule at any time throughout the rest of the game has to drink. Queen - Question master.
What is the queen in Ring of Fire?
Queen - Question master. You become the question master, and if anybody answers a question asked by you (the player who drew the card), they have to drink. This applies to ANY question. King - the player who drew the card must pour some of their drink into the cup in the middle.
What happens if you break the circle in Ring of Fire?
Discarding the Cards or Breaking the Ring of Fire
The person whose card causes the can to “tssssk” has to drink. When this occurs or the circle is broken, put another beer into the center and continue playing. Keep playing and keep drinking until there are no more cards left. And so are the rules to Ring of Fire!
