Kings Game Rules Novels & Stories

I snagged a few bits for my plate and sat on the far end on the long rectangular table as they took large gulps of their wine and chomped on their food, laughing and chatting away, amongst themselves. The king suddenly banged his Goblet on the table as he stood to attention, nearly falling as he drunkenly shuffled from foot to foot. “Soon, I will have another kingdom in my grips, his army will be my army and we will invade all the other lands that refused to be my ally! They will regret ever saying no to me! No one says no to King Edric! He roared and his guards cheered in agreement as they all clanged and bashed their goblets repeatedly on the table.

his voice drips with skepticism. Kingston narrows his eyes. "You forget the rules, Winston?" The guy, Winston, glares back at him before directing it to me. "No. Doesn't mean I can't question you for bein' a dumbass," he answers. He turns away and starts to refill the cups on the other side of the table. "If you couldn't tell before," Kingston says as he rearranges the cups on his end, "The game is simple. You throw a ball into one of the cups on my end, and I have to drink. Vise versa."

"Didn't you just apologize for being rude?" Kori went pale. Dante drank angrily, still staring at me like I'd personally burned his house down. "Enough just talking like this," Nelson clapped his hands. "Let's play the Wolf's Game." I had no idea what that was, but a drink was shoved into my hand. My first drink ever, actually. Levi leaned close. "Are you okay with that?" "I can do it," I said. "The rules," Nelson announced, pulling cards from some ridiculous fur pocket, "are simple. Whoever pulls the joker becomes king for one round. The king gets to order one action from anyone."

The King was standing now too. He was hesitating as if he needed time to figure out what to do in this situation. Amaris noticed that the guards too were hesitating. They were waiting to see what the King did before making a move. Amaris did not think that this was an outcome that was planned for. After about a minute the King stepped forward and raised his arms in the air for silence again. It took longer this time for silence to fall. The guards stepped forward and posed a threat to some of the louder members of the prisoners who were celebrating more than was allowed. Nikos and Michalis were still in the arena. They too were looking up at the dais to see what their fate would b

Once Ralph passed me his bag, he approached Kyrell. "Finally! I started to worry that you were backing down.” Kyrell grinned as Ralph approached him. Ralph watched unfazed as he inched closer to Ralph's face in a confrontational and threatening manner. "The rules are simple, pal. Whoever scores the most goals in ten minutes wins, and the clock is ticking." And the game began.

A pair of kings appeared before everyone's eyes. No one understood what I was doing. Still, I said, "Guys, I want to stay in this hand. But I don't have enough money. Is anyone willing to back me?" I was asking to pool our bets. In this game, if a player didn't have enough money, they could borrow from others on the spot. As long as they gave everyone hope of winning, anyone could chip in. But there was a rule. One could not reveal all of their cards. That would be considered unfair, so it wasn't allowed.

“I propose we play fair. Best two of three wins, and takes Ruby’s hand. If I lose, I leave the palace and lose my title as Grand Prince. If you lose, you can either be disinherited or run 100 laps of the most famous river in the kingdom naked with the press live-streaming the whole thing.” Lucas’s face contorted in anger, “You’re insane.” “But, I have a point.” Caleb retorted, “Playing along is your best chance for a clean win, because under any other rules I won’t stop fighting you until this woman is mine and you’ve taken your paws off the kingdom.” “Fine then,” Lucas said, “The Alpha Ball, that will be the first competition. Whoever gets the most votes from the attendees wins the first ga

Angie foolishly replied and that was all it took. They spent the next few minutes hashing out the details of the game, trying to make the rules as simple as possible. The queen would be forced to start in the basement of the "castle" and have to make her way all the way upstairs to the safety of her royal bedchamber. Once inside, she would then have to make it to her bathroom where, if she could successfully shut and lock the door, she would be declared the winner. Of course, she would be faced with several obstacles. The first being the tri level house, or castle as they were now referring to it in the spirit of the game, would be totally dark with the power being turned off at the fuse box

From Vera's point of view, Kevin looked like he was hugging her. "Look at your own dice number and remember the numbers. Now, there are five of us playing. We have to start shouting at six, and then you can call out whatever number you want. If someone called the number one already, then one is one, and following that..." Kevin explained the game rules carefully to Tianna and helped her to shout a few times. It was generally a game of guessing. In fact, it was not that difficult. Tianna understood the basic rules after playing only a few rounds. Because in the beginning, under Kevin's guidance, she really didn't lose a single time.

“Otherwise, this would end in a massacre.” I smirk, watching the young woman pouring his drink. “I’m just still figuring out how to replace you.” His big grin grows as he points his index at me. “Good luck with that, boss.” It is a real struggle to have them finally change the subject. They are rather determined to get more information about the girl out of me, but I’d rather cut my tongue out. Soon enough, we are talking about some idiotic sport again. We have only one rule at our weekly poker round, and it’s not to talk about business. A stupid rule that was introduced by Jenson, as I would not talk about anything else.
