Kings Cup — the wedge that keeps coming back

Kings Cup doesn't ask you to drink — it asks you to contribute. Land a dart here and you top up a shared glass sitting on the table, a splash from whatever's in your hand. Cheap for you right now. Expensive for somebody else, eventually.

That's the whole trick of it. This wedge isn't a one-off: it's stamped across several sectors of the 3rd Circle, so over a long session it keeps coming back, and the cup keeps climbing. Lager on wine on the last of someone's flat mixer, nobody quite sure what it's turned into by round six. Watching it grow is half the entertainment. So is watching people try to get away with a token dribble instead of a proper pour.

House rule worth setting early: a splash means a splash, not a rinse of the glass. Skimping just makes the eventual reckoning worse for whoever ends up drinking it, and the table always clocks a stingy pour. The honest move is to top it up like you mean it and let the dread build for someone else further round the board.

Because it's a 3rd Circle filler, expect this one to land more than once a game — it's not a rare, dramatic hit, it's a running joke that gets grimmer the longer play goes on. The bill doesn't land here, though. Somewhere else on the board, a bullseye is waiting to finish what this wedge started.
