Guess the wrong number and you have to drink a penalty cup of sake. In the original ken game, hon-ken, two people sit opposite each other and throw a number between 0 and 5 with their right hands, while simultaneously shouting out the expected sum of the two numbers. Ken, or fist, games arrived from China via Nagasaki port, one of the four gateways where Japan could interact with outside cultures during the Sakoku, or closed country, Period (1639-1866). The first, Tora-ken or Tiger Tiger Tiger, evolved from the ken tradition of hand-games that came to Japan in the 17th century. But what if you are tired of King’s Cup, Beer Pong, and those rules you keep forgetting to the Aladdin drinking game?
