Dostoevsky's Drinking Game

hmm. basicamente el juego consiste en tomar un trago leyendo una novela de Fyodor D, cada vez que:


—suicide (two drinks if it doesn't advance the plot)
—spider(s)
—drunkenness
—child abuse, physical or sexual
—singing
—impossibly beautiful woman (or man) appears, in person or in a portrait
—everyone falls in love with him/her
—new patronymic introduced
—you forget which patronymic goes with which character
—payment for sex
—payment for the commission of a crime
—any attempt (commissioned or freelance) to burn something
—reference to internal 19th-century Russian politics
—conflation of Catholicism and socialism
—hallucinations; or, elaborate, Freudian dreams
—murder attempt (it succeeds—drink twice; it creates a need for one or more murders—additional drinks as appropriate)
—Hell
—other post-death destinations, e.g., Heaven, America
—fainting (male or female)
—crying (male)
—someone gets angry at someone else for misunderstanding him, but it's his own fault
—he realizes that, but gets angry anyway
—seduction
—perceived seduction
—attempted seduction
—Apocalypse
—sudden inheritance
—the words “sudden,” “suddenly,” or “threshold”
—character unexpectedly appears just after someone else had been thinking about him
—the giving of alms
—any long speech that, in real life, would have been interrupted at least once
—funeral
—illegitimate child (sired by rape—drink twice)
—the color yellow
—epilepsy/epileptics
—references to capital punishment
—instances of the virgin-whore dichotomy
—dying consumptives
—exchanging of crosses
—someone confesses to something he considers to be the lowest crime of all
—and nobody else thinks it's that bad (Drain.)
