Featured Article: What the Gin Said
A drinking game, traditionally played during Eurovision and at other important social gatherings.The beauty of What the Gin Said lies in its simple rules, and the fact that there are no winners; in fact, it has been argued that all players are losers.
History and Origin of the Game.
Unknown.
The Rules
- Assemble your group around an object. A table is recommended, but not necessary.
- Decide who goes first. It doesn't really matter.
- Take one bottle of (any) gin.
- Pour a shot into an appropriate receptacle. A tiny trophy is the preferred vessel.
- Take a deep contemplative breath.
- Without pausing, down the shot, and say the first sentence which comes into your mind. This is the wisdom of the gin.
- Play continues in a clockwise direction. Or an anticlockwise direction. Or at random.
- Play continues until there is no more gin.
Shunnable Offences
- Pausing to think of something witty to say
- Players choosing not to take their turn.
- Players who are absent from the assembly when it is their turn.
- Players who ask to substitute a different beverage, because they dislike gin. (That's the whole point, gomer.)
NB: Vomiting is not a shunnable offence unless it disrupts play.
Enhancements
- Assign a scribe. The role of scribe can rotate among players, or be an innocent bystander. The scribe should write down the wisdom of the gin, either in a spiral-bound notebook (for later auction on eBay for 50p to some American with a strange Eurovision fetish), or on [whattheginsaid.com].
- Single-player mode. The player sits alone at home, in front of their computer, and repeats steps 4-6 (above), acting as their own scribe and entering the wisdom of the gin directly into the [whattheginsaid.com] database for general amusement of the Internet.
