What happens if both players guess wrong multiple times in a row?

Each player must drink for every incorrect guess they make, so if neither can guess correctly for a few rounds, prepare for a lot of sips.

Can you change characters mid-game?

No, once a character is selected at the start, you must stick with that character to keep the game fair.

What if someone accidentally reveals their character?

If a character is revealed prematurely, they must take a penalty drink, and the round restarts with both players choosing new characters.

How do you handle ties?

If both players successfully guess the opponent's character in the same turn, neither wins, and each player takes three sips while preparing for a rematch.
