Playing something not on the list? Make your own rules!
Choose the film or series you are going to watch.
Think of 3–5 things that happen often in that specific film – recurring phrases, character traits, clichés.
Decide how many sips for each rule (rare events = more; common events = 1 sip).
Write down the rules, read them out to everyone, and start the film!
The one who remembers the most rules throughout is the Movie King/Queen for the night!
