The Unofficial Thundercats Drinking Game!

Now you may be asking "why the heck would there be a drinking game for a show rated Y-7 and meant for kids?"... My answer: because drinking games are darned fun! Of course, you don't have to consume any alcoholic beverages to enjoy them, and I am not endorsing underage drinking with this! (So please don't send me any hatemail with such rants, it will be ignored!) The game works equally well with substances containing a high sugar and/or caffeine content (read: candy and soda), and it's a great way to kill a rainy afternoon! How do you play? Gather several of your Thundercats-watching pals, stock up on your beer or junk food, and pop in a video tape of several episodes. Then watch for any of the key events listed below to happen, and follow the instructions when they do! Enjoy!

Listed below is what I call the Classic Drinking Game, best played with a small group of friendly, non-competitive people who just want to laugh at Thundercats and have a good time. This version can also be played alone, if you want a good laugh and to get trashed.

Recently though Jackalmann suggested that this version could be difficult with fumbling around with the long lists of events and complicated rules to remember (especially if you're drunk off your ass hehehe) and lack of competitiveness if you wanted to play a drinking game and where you can make your friends get more inebriated than you and laugh at them (and you know we all do heh heh heh)... so he wrote up a new version of the drinking game. Check it out here: Jackalmann's Alternate Rules for the Thundercats Drinking Game

Of course, if you want to go totally crazy, we encourage trying both versions! In either case, don't operate any heavy machinery after a serious round of this game!
