Share:

You win or you drink — and everyone in Westeros eventually loses

The Rules

  • Sip — Tyrion Lannister makes a witty remark while visibly holding a goblet of wine
  • Sip — a scene cuts from a map of Westeros to the corresponding real location
  • Sip — someone kneels and swears fealty to a seated ruler or claimant
  • Sip — 'Winter is coming' or a variation of the Stark words is spoken
  • Sip — the Rains of Castamere plays as background score in any scene
  • Drink Twice — a major named character is killed without warning or ceremony
  • Drink Twice — a dragon appears in the sky above a battlefield or city
  • Drink Twice — the Iron Throne appears in close-up as a character stares at it
  • Shot — the Red Wedding sequence begins with 'The Rains of Castamere' playing live
  • Shot — Jon Snow is revealed to be Aegon Targaryen with a confirmed claim
  • Chug — Daenerys burns King's Landing after the bells ring in surrender
