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.

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.
