It's April, and you know what that means: The greatest show to ever grace the HBO line up is returning!
The fifth season of Game of Thrones premieres Sunday April 12th, and while there are already enough reasons to drink in April—I see you, final exams—this show tops all.
Because I am not a fan of spoilers, I chose to write this game to be as general as possible. So regardless if you're just starting to watch GoT, if you're halfway through, or if you're a seasoned fan with four dragon posters on your wall (a.k.a. me), you can play along.
So grab some friends, a drink, or four...I wont judge, and get ready to party like a Lannister.
Or a Dothraki.
Or maybe a Baratheon.
Or even a Tyrell.
Honestly they all party pretty hard so just pick a house and let's drink.
Here are some rules:
Take one drink if:
- Someone mentions the White Walkers.
- Someone gets naked.
- You hear the word “Dragons".
- A new character is introduced.
- The characters start drinking.
- Someone irrelevant dies.
Two drinks if:
- A fight begins.
- Someone references a Brothel/Whorehouse.
- A character is tortured.
- Hodor says, “Hodor!" (so basically every time he opens his mouth)
- Cersei is mean to someone.
- The Gods are mentioned/prayed to/cursed.
- Danaerys gets naked.
Finish your drink when:
- An important character dies.
- You see a White Walker.
- When a city/kingdom falls to an opposing enemy.
Additional Rules, in case you're feelin' up to a challenge:
1. Chug every time someone introduces themselves—And don't stop until they've said their full name, parent's name, house name, and every other irrelevant piece of biographical information they can think of:
2. Take a sip and scream "YAAAAAAAS" whenever Lady Tyrell throws some shade.
3. Take a drink every time Arya says something so badass that you forget she's actually 12.
4. Roll your eyes and take a shot every time Sansa bitches about something.
5. Take a shot of Fireball whenever Melisandre spouts some proverbial nonsense about fire.
and finally...
6. Finish your beer and throw the can at the screen when this crazy MF'er shows up.
