The player to start will say the name of a famous person. This is normally the Prime Minister of the day. The next person in the circle must then say the name of another famous person, whose first name begins with the first letter of the previous famous person's surname. For example, "Tony Blair" could be followed by "Barry McGuigan", which might be followed by "Michael Jackson". While thinking, the player must continuously imbibe. Players may additionally engage in "social drinking" at any time.
If the surname has the same initial letter as the first name (e.g. "Sharon Stone"), direction of play is reversed (known as bouncing back). Thus through skillful play, a susceptible individual can be victimised if players either side continuously bounce the direction of play back in his direction.
Names cannot be repeated; such repetition results in an automatic drinking fine.
At least 2 other players must have heard of the person named for it to be valid.
Variations
- Fictional characters can be allowed
- Valid names can be limited to a particular group, for example: sports personalities, actors, or German physicists
- You can also enlarge the game by adding movies and bands
- One-word answers are legal. One-word answers just send the first letter to the next person, for instance "George Michael", "Madonna", "Michael Barrymore", or can reverse play as in the double initials rule. A further variant is if naming a one-name famous person (e.g. "Cher"), the namer can then nominate anyone in the players' circle to continue.
