The Costume Drama Drinking Game

[colliemommie]

Contributions more than welcome! The surface has barely been scratched on this one.


Jenn and I started this when I was up in Pittsburgh, and I just now bothered unpacking and finding my notes. These rules are very general, so they should fit with the period and genre niches of your choice...

Take one drink for:

* Illegal use of artwork (ex. Unicorn tapestries in Becket and egregious portrait abuse in Man in the Iron Mask)
* Illegal use of color/fabric  (gold lame Henry in Man for All Seasons)
* A costume you'd look good in
* Mistaken identity
* Architecture porn
* Improper use of titles
* Broken engagements (extra drink if it's so person A can marry another member of person B's family)
* Opening someone's else's correspondence
* When anyone from an episode of Doctor Who shows up
* Willful abuse of history/existing plot (please water down drinks if watching either Elizabeth movie, for the sake of your liver)


Empty the glass for:

* Syphilis!
* Beheadings
