Tintin/Drinking Game

Unless you want to trash your liver faster in one sitting than Captain Haddock did in his whole life, it is recommended that you use a low-alcohol content drink for this game.

Drink once when:

• Haddock takes a drink.
• Tintin dodges a car or a bullet.
• Captain Haddock curses and you know what the word means.
• Tompson and Thompson arrest Tintin.
• Tintin says “What is it Snowy?” or “What is it boy?”.
• Tintin says “Great snakes!”.
• Tintin says “No!”.
• Tintin yells “Gas!”.
• Cliffhanger.
• Calculus mishears something.
• Tintin gets chloroformed.
• More than one person laughs at a time.
• Tintin visits a museum.
• When Thomson says “To be precise…” and mangles what Thompson said earlier.
• Thompson and Tompson exhibit incompetence.
• You spot Herge.
• Tintin wears a disguise.
• Madame Castafiore mispronounces someone’s name.
• Snowy bites someone.
• Someone suffers blunt head trauma.
• Someone gets tied up.

Drink twice when:

• Someone who isn’t Tintin gets chloroformed.
• Someone gets punched in the face.
• Someone barely escapes death.
• Captain Haddock curses and you don’t know what the word means.
• Tintin tricks some crooks into thinking his fingers are guns.
• Thomson says “To be precise…” and doesn’t mangle what Thompson said earlier.
• Madame Castafiore gets someone’s name correct.

Drink thrice when:

• Racism.
• Villain escapes.
• Calculus hears something perfectly.
• Thompson and Tompson exhibit competence.

Special rules:

• Whenever Captain Haddock says “Thundering typhoons/Blistering barnacles” or any variations thereof, you must drink and repeat what he said word-for-word. Screw up, and you have to drink again. Repeat until correct. Harder to do once you’re really drunk.
• When Madame Castafiore sings "The Jewel Song" from Faust, you must drink until she stops singing.
  • ...OhCrap.
• When the theme tune reprises to denote a shift in dramatic tension, chug.
