A version of the drinking game Wizard Staff, based on the Game of Thrones / A Song of Fire and Ice series.

Competitors will be competing for control of the Iron Throne and the Kingdom of Westeros, so each player must pick a house to represent. For maximum results each player should attire themselves appropriately with house color and sigils.

The rules:

Beers 1-5: You are a squire.

To continue on to beer 6, you must complete an act of bravery (a shot of wild turkey), at which point you become a knight.

Beers 6-10: You are a knight.

As a knight, you may challenge other knights (not squires or lords) to shotgun battles (first player to finish their shotgun wins) … the winner of the shotgun battle gets to put both cans on their staff, the loser none.

Beers 11+: You are a lord.

As lord of your house, for each beer you add to your staff you may create a rule that everyone else (that have not yet becomes a lord) must follow.

The joust: For the crown

To determine a winner, a joust must be held. Only lords may contend. Two lords joust at a time, the loser is out and the winner continues on. Each jouster must where a helm (a beer case) with a single beer can taped to the top. Each jouster must knock the beer can from their opponents helm. Whomever loses their can (or their entire helm) first loses.

Remember, when you play the game of thrones … you black out. Enjoy.
