How to Play Succession Drinking Game

  1. Drink when Logan yells
  2. Drink for sibling rivalry
  3. Drink for corporate jargon
  4. Drink for Kendall awkwardness
  5. Drink for power move
  6. Finish for major betrayal
  7. Everyone drinks for helicopter
  8. Drink for Roman's jokes

Tips & Strategies

Focus on Logan during tense boardroom scenes; he'll almost always yell at someone, so have your drink ready. Roman's jokes can be rapid-fire, so if one has everyone laughing, just sip immediately without debating it. Helicopter scenes are rare but group-drink moments, so make sure everyone hears the cue to drink. If you're unsure whether a moment is a 'power move,' go with your gut but err on the side of drinking,you'll rarely regret it during Succession's constant power posturing.

Variations

Take a penalty shot whenever two or more Roy siblings start shouting over each other; this happens often in big family scenes.: Double the drinking for every instance of corporate jargon during business meetings, like 'synergy' or 'capital expenditure'.: Nominate one player as the Kendall Watcher; they must call out 'awkward' whenever Kendall does something cringy, and everyone except the Watcher drinks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as 'corporate jargon'?
Words like 'acquisition,' 'merger,' 'leverage,' or 'synergies' are safe bets. If it sounds like a buzzword straight from a business textbook, it's a drink.
Does Logan yelling have to be at full volume?
Not necessarily. Anytime Logan raises his voice to assert dominance, even if it's a growly rant, it counts as a drink.
Do all players drink for Roman's jokes?
Yes, as long as at least two people laugh. If it's unclear, the group votes on whether it was funny enough to trigger a drink.
What qualifies as a 'major betrayal'?
Think about moments when a Roy family member significantly screws over another, like leaking secrets or flipping alliances. These are finish-your-drink moments.
