What happens if a scene has no narration?

If there's a silent scene with just visuals, use it as a break or make a rule like 'drink for every predator stalking prey' during silent sequences.

Can we make custom rules for specific documentaries?

Absolutely! Tailor rules to the documentary, like drinking for every mention of a specific biome or each time slow-motion footage is used.

What if a player assigns too many drinks unfairly?

Group consensus can override excessive drink assigning. Common sense rules keep the game fun for everyone.

Is it better to pause for rule clarifications or keep the film running?

Pausing helps if players are distracted or unclear on rules, but continuous play keeps things lively and flowing.
