Beer Trek: TNG

Requirements:

  • Episode(s) of ST:TNG
  • This list
  • People (the more the merrier)
  • Beverages of your choice
Instructions:

Simple. Watch the show, and whenever a condition is met, take the appropriate number of drinks. The definition of "drink" should be decided before game play starts. Usually, a good mouthful will suffice. Optional rules are included at the end of the list for fun variations on the "standard" game.

Rebekah's Notes:

Sometimes it helps to draw characters. Write the names of the characters in a hat, double up if you have enough people. Then everyone draws a name. If you catch someone not drinking when they should, that person must drink until you tell them to stop. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. First, you don't have to memorize everything. Second, those who drew Yar can laugh at those who drew Picard. Especially if Yar's not in the episode!

I also have this game in a in a printable form. It is perfectly formatted for printing. It took me a while, so if you download it you damn well better sign my Guestbook!
