The Pub Game
One person is nominated to start, and everyone sits in a circle. The game starts off going round clockwise. The starter can issue any of the following commands:
- DRINK! (go round in the same direction)
- ARSE! (change direction)
- FECK! (the next person down skips a go, with control going to the player after them)
- THAT WOULD BE AN ECUMENICAL MATTER! (All the players drink the contents of their glass. This command can only be used once per night per person).
- Obviously, if someone makes a mistake (speaks out of turn, hesitates etc...), then they drink one finger of what is in their glass.
- If any one command is used by three consecutive players, then the third player must down their drink.
- If any one command is used three times consecutively by the same player, then they must also down their drink.
- If anyone says "that would be an ecumenical matter" more than once in an evening, then they must buy a round for the rest of the players. If they say it after closing time, then the rest of the players are entitled to heap as much abuse on the offender as possible, and he/she must buy a drink for each of the other players at another time.
Thanks very much to Stuart Bunyan and Michael Eustace for those.
