A while back, AC took a deep dive into the many different ways you can modify Kings Cup to serve your drinking game needs. And while that is still an awesome compendium, it got me thinking: what if you don’t like Kings Cup? What if you prefer games like Among Us, Killer Queen, or hell even Captain’s Gambit?
