the final set of rules

The final set of Maurice drinking game rules require a familiarity with Alan Holilnghurst’s The Stranger’s Child, because that’s how we roll

1. Maurice is actively cockblocked
2. Alec appears in a state of undress
3. Maurice is sad (max 1 time per scene)
4. A scene in a boathouse
5. Faux-Lytton (ed: Risley) appears. (Also, players must toast and  shout “THIGHS LIKE YOUNG POPLARS!”)
6. The Greeks are mentioned
7. Cricket is referenced
8. You spot a reference Hollinghurst stole in The Stranger’s Child
9. PUNTING!
10. Someone climbs in a window
11. Clive is gratuitously an asshole

I can vouch it will get you nice & tipsy. Don’t make the drinks too strong or you will probably cry during the second hypnotism scene. 

A few additions for the exceptionally alcohol tolerant:

-Simcox silently judges someone

-Maurice awkwardly compliments a woman

-Letter voiceover

-Maurice’s old teacher played by Simon Callow appears

-First appearance of a Sadness Moustache (NB. Does not count towards Times Maurice is Sad or Times Clive is Gratuitously an Asshole)

-Someone closes the shutters symbolically
