The next life position, which we invite you to “try on” for yourself in order to avoid the idealization of earthly values ​​and the resulting “educational” processes, is called “Life is a game.”

Everything is a game
This position means that you will consider the events happening around you as intermediate stages of a variety of games. For example, at home you can play a game called “Family Life” or “I am the head of the family.” At work - you play a game called “Work” or “Your Business”. With your friends you play the game “Friendship” or “Fishing”, with the woman you like - the game “Love” or “Sex”, and so on.

What can such a position give? It will give you the opportunity not to become overly attached to any values. There is always a win in the game, but there is always a loss, although it is not necessary. Try to perceive all your successes as temporary gains, and failures as temporary losses.

For example, if you failed to take the desired position in the service, it means that your opponent has outplayed you this time. But next time he won't succeed! Or will you try to beat him on another field - i.e. you will try to take a higher position, but in a different organization.

Or, for example, if your project is not going well and you are in debt, think about it: maybe you are not playing your game and you need to quickly either change the conditions of the game, or admit your loss and try to win in another game (in another project) . And so on for any losses.

You probably don't need to worry about winnings.

Attitude towards failure
This attitude to life can sharply reduce the number of your experiences for which they can begin to “educate” you.

Thus, the player can actively and enthusiastically participate in all processes, but he doesn't take his loss to heart. I lost, I lost, I’ll win back next time.

This is a convenient and effective life position that many officials and entrepreneurs adhere to. Look at the successful members of our government or authorities - they take their posts, knowing in advance that they will not hold them for long. And yet, they “play” with passion in managing a country or industry, often with great benefit for themselves. It makes absolutely no difference to life how you will receive your income - in the form of a salary at the cash desk, in the form of a bribe, or through the “privatization” of a part of public or private property. The only thing that matters is what emotions you will experience and what you will idealize. If you rejoice and thank Life for helping you fulfill your wishes, everything will be fine. If you become arrogant or offended, you will have problems. Players, as you understand, cannot be sad for long - otherwise there will be no time to play.

This attitude “Life is a game” is very common in developed countries of the world. Western businessmen, although they take their business seriously, always understand that they can lose. Internally, they are prepared for their possible loss, therefore they live today easily and with full dedication

Therefore, if your goal is money, then choose any game that will allow you to achieve it faster. And it’s very good if you don’t break the law when achieving this goal. But forget for a while about creativity, serving people, self-expression, humanism and other bright matters. When you receive the money, then you can return to this list and choose from it something less profitable, but more pleasing to your subtle soul.

If your goal is self-realization in creativity, then you immediately need another game where you can create something new, although without much income.

Signs of the game
But play is not all you do in life. The game has its own specific characteristics, and the main one is the presence of a very specific goal that you are striving for. If you simply perform some actions - automatically, out of habit or out of necessity, then this is not a game. It’s not a game when we go to work, quarrel with a neighbor or husband, go shopping, visit or go on vacation. This can all become a game if you pursue a specific goal. For example, achieving a promotion at work. And you take certain actions to achieve this goal. And if you are simply waiting to see if you will be promoted, and are only discussing the prospects for your promotion with your employees, then this is not a game, but a clownery. With you as the main clown.

Common games
Civilized countries have developed a number of general accepted rules behavior of people in different situations. Eat general rules“games of business”, there is a set of “gentlemanly” qualities of human behavior in society, there are rules for family life or achieving female (or male) love, etc. If you want to join one of these games, then you need to follow the relevant generally accepted rules.

For example, if this is a game of “Clean Business”, then the rules include maintaining the honest name and prestige of the company, timely payment of all taxes, high quality of goods or services, etc. If the game “Money at any cost” is played, then you can “throw away” your partner or the state, leave the legal heir without funds, or grab other people’s money by forging papers or electronic cards. The next stage of this game will be an attempt to evade justice, etc.

Each person chooses the game that suits him, based on the results of his upbringing, position in society, personal goals, beliefs, etc.

Personal game
The game can be collective (such as “Clean Business”), and then you need to adhere to generally accepted rules. If you don't like it, you can come up with your own personal game with rules known only to you. People may not understand or even be offended by your actions, but that's their problem. They think that you are playing a common game with them according to agreed upon rules. But you have completely different rules, especially since you can change them at any time.

Restrictions
When starting a personal game, you must remember one limitation: During the game, you must not violate the main requirement that Life imposes on people’s behavior - not to judge them and yourself. How can it be? Very simple.

For example, you are a single woman, you decided to play the game “Love”, and began to indulge in this feeling with all the passion possible for you, trying to achieve reciprocal feelings from your chosen one. If you attached excessive importance to the results of the game, then, in accordance with the basic requirement, your “caretaker” had to organize things so that the second participant in the game did not share your passion. He doesn't love you, to put it simply.

According to the rules of the game in such a situation, you either must admit defeat at this stage and move on to the next stage of the “hunt” for your loved one, or change the game. Let's consider the first option.
You must decide what to do next based on the actual circumstances. For example, you are not loved because the heart of your chosen one is occupied by another. In this case, you can wait until his heart is freed from the shackles of current love, and then begin to conquer him. But you need to understand that such a wait can drag on for a long time (until the next life), and while waiting you need to prevent your “accumulator of experiences” from overflowing.

Very great importance has what internal position you will take during the waiting period. If you just wait and lie in ambush, waiting for the right moment to attack, then everything will be fine. You will be in a good mood, the player’s constant companions - cheerfulness and excitement - will not leave you. And your winnings are guaranteed.

But here if you begin to grieve and be killed over unrequited love, then it will be another game called “Unhappy Love”. Within this new game you will consider yourself the most unhappy and offended, i.e. You will clearly be offended by Life. This is an obvious erroneous belief, and it will be corrected in a typical way - they will make it even worse for you so that you understand that unrequited love is far from the worst thing in our world.

A similar game with false beliefs can be built very easily. They didn’t get the desired job - they began to grieve why “I’m so unhappy (or mediocre).” If you failed to launch your business project and got into debt - here’s the game “There is no happiness in life,” etc.
All these are variants of the game “I am the most unfortunate” (unlucky, unloved, mediocre),” which is based on the idealization (exaggeration) of your imperfection in the form of a lack of some of your qualities. For such games you will be “educated”, and quite harshly.

That's why You cannot build personal games in which you feel offended, unhappy, poor and experience other similar negative feelings and thoughts. The result of the game should always be victory and positive emotions, and failures in the game are just a temporary retreat in which the excitement and positive emotions do not leave you.

Generally accepted rules
Changing the rules of a personal game as it progresses is a convenient position for you, but it is not so simple. There are generally accepted rules that any person must adhere to. During or as a result of your play, you must not commit violence towards another person. Although there is a Criminal Code for this, which limits the possibilities of your own game - it should not go beyond these higher level rules established by society.

Although, as life shows, some people do not recognize the rules of the Criminal Code. You can try this too. But you need to clearly understand that by doing this you will enter into the game “Who is more cunning”, and the opposite side in the game will be the police, the tax inspectorate, etc. If you are sure that you will win, then the flag is in your hands. If you lose, don’t be offended by anyone, it was your personal choice.

Company rules
In the same way, there are internal rules of the game in any firm or company. For large and long-established organizations this is called “ corporate culture" If you come to work in a company, then you need to adhere to the rules adopted there. You can build your own games, but they should not violate the accepted rules of behavior and relationships in this company, otherwise it will reject you. In a small company, the manager or owner often plays the game “I’m the boss, you’re an eccentric,” and the employees play “Try and prove it” (for example, where did the money go).

Scope of application
In the “player” position, you can set any goals for yourself and strive to achieve them with all your energy. First of all, it is suitable for people who are determined, passionate, confident in their abilities and ready to take risks to achieve their goals. That is, it is more suitable for entrepreneurs than for officials or department heads of large companies who have a clearly defined range of responsibilities.

But any other person, regardless of occupation or temperament, can take the same position when achieving their personal goals, such as organizing their personal life, getting the desired job or housing, going on vacation, and so on. This position will allow you not to accumulate new experiences while achieving your personal goals.

And now the latest results have arrived.

RESULTS
1. The second life position, which allows a person not to accumulate experiences when achieving a set goal, is called: “Life is a game.”
2. This position assumes that when achieving his goals, a person is internally prepared for loss and will not be offended by life if such a loss occurs. He will simply try to win in the next round (half, stage, etc.)
3. The advantage of this position is that it can be used by people who are passionate, energetic, and assertive in achieving their goals - i.e. predisposed to violation of the basic requirement.
4. People with any other temperament or activity can also use this position in achieving their personal goals.

Using pirated firmware violates the license agreement, but allows you to run pirated versions of games and additional software on the game console that have not been certified by the console developers. Warranty repairs are not provided for consoles that have ever had pirated firmware installed.

Game developer– a studio, a group of people or, less commonly, one person. The developer creates computer and video games.

Spawnkill (eng. spawnkill - killing a spawn)– killing a character who has just appeared at the spawn point. In most cases, such an action is not welcomed in the gaming community, since the killer has a significant advantage due to better equipment and the readiness to launch a surprise attack.

You know, sometimes life, no matter whose, mine or someone else’s, reminds me of a computer game with different levels of difficulty.

We go through the lessons that life presents to us, like levels of a computer game. And not everyone is able to pass the next level right away. And then life returns us again to the place from which we started. And we go through the next level again and again until we understand what’s what and how to act better and more correctly.

When we overcome the next level, we find ourselves on a “higher level,” where the rules are more complex, but the game is more interesting, and, more often than not, we are equipped with something valuable to us. If we understand the general principle of the game and master the most effective strategies, we, gaining skill from level to level, emerge as winners. If we fail to understand our mistakes, we get stuck at one level, and then abandon the game altogether, resenting the “developer” for making it either too difficult or “kind of stupid.”

Let me explain with an example. Young woman marry for a guy, expecting their family life to be long and happy. But, as you yourself understand, over time, certain disagreements arise between the newly made spouses. If you solve problems constructively, finding solutions that suit both spouses, work on yourself, study the “rules” and “effective strategies” life together, then over time such a family will definitely reach the “happy relationship” level, and the girl, accordingly, will reach the “happy wife” level. If you do not follow the above principles, then, most likely, a happy family life will not work out, that is, the girl gets stuck at the level of disagreements, disputes and quarrels. If she gets tired of this state of affairs and decides to leave her husband in the hope of finding a better man, then, according to the laws of the game, she begins to go through the level again. If she again does not want to understand the rules of the game and follow them, the situation repeats itself. As a result, disappointment sets in, and the girl becomes convinced that “all men...” - you know who. For those who want to learn family relations, I recommend articles from the section "Relationships between a man and a woman" .

And such examples are among the most different areas life can be found literally at every step.

Every game has its own set of strategies and rules. There are also the most general, one might say, universal rules that apply in any game. In the game called "Life" these rules are called the "Laws of the Universe." There are not many of them, but they help us navigate in life, and ignorance of these laws, much like ignorance of the rules of the game we play, allows us to somehow move, but we are unlikely to be able to achieve any success.

So here they are:

Liability Law. We, and only we, are fully responsible for our lives and for what happens in it. And this means refusing to blame others and attributing the situation to circumstances. We ourselves attract both good and bad events into our lives with our thoughts, emotions and actions. How to attract desired events, read in the section "Fulfillment of desires". On the one hand, it is difficult to accept responsibility for everything in life. It’s much easier to blame all our troubles on someone else. For example, say that the bus that didn’t arrive on time is to blame for being late for an important meeting. And the fact that the husband is lying on the sofa is the fault of his parents, who raised him this way. It is the employer who pays low wages who is to blame for the lack of money. And the fact that we don’t have our own housing is the fault of the state, which does not provide living space to everyone in need for no reason. On the other hand, if we are responsible for everything, then we can change everything for the better. Think about the prospects unfolding! After all, if everything in this life depends on us, we can take everything into our own hands and ourselves, regardless of anyone, create our life the way we want it to be. If, of course, we stick to the “rules” and learn more effective “game strategies.”

The Law of Free Will. Each person makes his own choice and only himself. No one is ever able to do anything to a person without his consent. This law follows from the first. Lying on the couch, pretending to be a victim of circumstances, and blaming everyone for everything, or climbing to new heights and changing your life for the better - it’s up to you to decide, and no one can force you to choose one or the other.

Law of Reflection. What is above is also below, what is inside is also outside. And if you don’t like something about another person, it means it’s in you. I really liked the saying that I once heard : “When we point a finger at someone, three other fingers point at us.”. You've probably heard that the people around us are our mirrors and show our shortcomings. Well, when someone yells louder than us, thereby irritating us incredibly - here, in general, everything is clear. If we remain silent, those who shout louder will also become silent. How can this law be used to explain the situation when a wife, who is carrying the whole family, is incredibly annoyed by her husband lying on the sofa? Did you guess it? This is where the “reverse” mirror comes into play. The more the wife “plows”, the more lazy the husband becomes. I think you can draw your own conclusion. In principle, I can give you a hint - give the initiative to your husband. You can find information on how to do this on our website “Sunny Hands” in the “Relationships” section and in the book by A. Guy "How to get a man off the couch 2" .

Law of cause and effect. The present is the result of the past and the cause of the future. Here, I think, everything is clear even without comments.

The Law of Positive Intention. Behind every thought of any person there is a positive intention. Any human behavior has a positive function in a certain context. Agree, everything we do is done with the best intentions. Another thing is that it doesn’t always work out well and correctly. However, the intentions remain good. Therefore, when you are ready to be offended by someone, remember this law and try to find these good intentions in the potential offender. Try to understand why he did this, what motivated him at the moment. Literally stand in his place, in his position. Or you can directly, in a frank conversation, ask about his motives. You look, and you don’t want to be offended.

The law of correct choice. The choice made at the time of decision is always the most correct. There is a wonderful saying: “We are all strong in hindsight”. That is, we sometimes regret what we have done, seeing other, more effective options for solving this problem, and because of this we often scold ourselves. And this brings us absolutely no benefit. So just take it on faith: at the moment it was the most correct solution. This will increase your efficiency and instill self confidence .

Law of Unity. We and the World around us form a single whole. The part strives for the whole, and the whole takes care of its part. At one time I really liked this comparison: we are the cells of one large organism. Without cells, an organism is nothing, so it is in its interests to take care of each of its components, to supply it with everything necessary for a full existence. Accordingly, every cell works for the benefit of the whole organism. Think about it, do cells fight? Or are they offended by each other? Or maybe they share something between themselves? Or are they afraid that they won’t have enough of something? They simply perform their function conscientiously, and everything necessary comes to them. The exception is cancer cells, which poison the entire body with their waste products. As a result, when there are too many of these cells, the body dies, but the pests die along with it. So let us use our vital activity to benefit a large organism called the Universe, and it will certainly take care of us and do everything to make us feel good.

Here is a list of the basic Laws.. There you will find the best behavioral strategies for all occasions, tested by our authors on themselves.

And one more observation. Each game has its own arsenal of tips. These tips help you move correctly and most efficiently, warn you about various kinds of dangers, and sometimes even save the player from imminent death. In our global game “Life” there are also clues, which are usually called Signs of Fate. They can warn of both good and bad consequences of what we are about to do. Signs can appear in dreams (so-called prophetic dreams), in some events that do not leave us indifferent. For example, I had such a clear sign when I was getting ready to go to a ten-day seminar in Crimea. I bought a bus ticket to Simferopol, and when I left the bus station building, a magnificent rainbow shone in the sky. Accordingly, the seminar went off with a bang and helped me resolve many problems. Probably everyone has had their own examples of Signs in their life. The general principle is this: if we do something, and we succeed, and at the same time, as they say, the soul sings, then we are doing everything right. And vice versa.

Here, in fact, are all my observations and conclusions on this topic. Knowing the laws of the game, applying successful strategies and relying on tips, you can realize your goals much faster, easier and more successfully.

And finally, I want to wish you:

Play, play beautifully, play by the rules, confidently and talentedly, rejoice in your victories and don’t take defeats too seriously. After all, this is the kind of game in which you can start everything, or almost everything, all over again and, having studied its rules and gained experience, emerge victorious.

Confident and easy victories for you!

Sincerely, Inna Kichigina.

How to play the game called life. Transit formula of the soul.

Those who study the method of the soul formula may have the following questions:

• I have weak or retrograde planets in the center of the formula. is it so bad? Can I somehow correct or improve the qualities of these planets?
• What is the transit formula?
• How to use the transit formula of the soul?

Yes, it happens very often at the center of the soul formula there are planets with a “weak status” (0,1,2 points) or retrograde ® . What to do if this happens in your soul formula!?

Let's try to UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT how we can improve the qualities of the planets in the center of the formula;

Let’s not leave it as it is with the thoughts “everything is lost”, “everything is bad”, “it won’t get any better”, but let’s ACT and WORK ON OURSELVES.

Now, in order...

1. Since God put exactly this soul formula on your soul, and you were born here and now (at this time, in a certain country, in a certain family), it means it’s necessary for your development and you are able to cope with the assigned tasks of incarnation for this earthly life! Understand, there are no people who do not have problems, there are people who have not learned to “understand” and “solve” them. Remember the movie: “The Rich Also Cry.” There is no need to look at the fact that someone has it better than you, you need to look deep inside yourself and try first understand yourself . Everything that happens to us in the external world is a reflection of your inner world and its acceptance and understanding. The law of space says: “As above, so below”, literally: "What's inside, so is outside". Let's learn to accept what is “what God put on my soul” and live with it happily ever after!
2. You opened your soul formula and saw that you have weak planets in the center of the formula (0,1,2 points). A reasonable question arises regarding Dostoevsky: "what to do"? YES, I want to say right away, the theme of these planets in your life IT WILL SOUND VERY LOUD, is that a bad thing? If the planets have a normal (3 points) or strong status (4,5,6 points), a person will cope with problems on the topics of these planets, without much stress or with very little, in a natural way, it’s the same as if they laid out a “carpet” for him or turned on the “green light”. For those planets for which you see a weak status, the “red” light will be on all the time, and there will be no carpet, you will need to MAKE EFFORT. Any advanced astrologer will tell you his observations, that it is precisely on planets with a weak status that the most striking achievements in human life occur, because only by making efforts (and they cannot be avoided in in this case) , you can achieve something! Yes, let it be not on the first try, but on the tenth, but what a great result it can be! It’s a little more difficult for those who have retrograde planets in the center of the formula. Here you will literally need "strength of will", and long, painful work on oneself, alcohol and drugs will not help, and going to another reality will not help either. Because if you choose "get drunk and forget yourself" “to leave without saying goodbye, not within the time set by God”, You will have to start all over again, but with even greater "plugs" And "obstacles". Is it worth it? Let's try to look at such serious things in a non-trivial way - in a childish way, “playing”, children play all the time, they literally have no time! After all, everyone is familiar with the expression "Life is a game", this is simple "adult game", it is already played by children who have grown up and become uncles and aunts, fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, bosses and subordinates. Did you think something different? Who are you to God? In the end, “Where do we all go from the submarine?”?! Therefore, everything has already happened, and YOU ACCEPTED THE RULES OF THE GAME, you are here and now, and you have "soul formula" and this, yes, yes, is exactly a HINT on how to play a game called "life".And there is no other way, no other road, except the one called “WORK ON YOURSELF,” on YOUR INNER WORLD.” Look at your soul formula, you will see planets or retroplanets that are weak in status, are they indicated by any planet? If yes, then this is your very “assistant” that you have available, and through which you can “act” or use, ask for “help”. If there is no such planet, look at what orbit it is in low status planet or retroplanet. Is this planet at the center of the formula? If so, then you can work through it, this is your Chip and Dale, who are rushing to the rescue... And if not, no planets after, no planet that controls the orbit in the center? Then we look at the higher planets, they are also called "generational": Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. What is their status? How are they “incorporated” into your formula? Neptune - This Venus "on top level», Uranus - Mercury , Pluto - Mars. But here, work on raising the status of the planet, correcting its level (plan), must be carried out in a group form, through group activities. And it still doesn’t happen that: "oh woe, woe, woe is me", “I don’t have any of the above”, there is and it happens, you didn’t see it, or you couldn’t figure it out. Don't panic!, let's figure it out together. There are various nuances when it is laid down in the formula that the decision comes in the second half of life or through the inclusion of a person in some kind of collective processes. Anything can happen! But there are no hopeless situations! I repeat, you simply didn’t see them!
3. There is one more assistant, or rather there are many of them, and it’s called "transit formula" of the soul . Especially significant are the transit formulas that are formed by the planets at the time of your birth in the years following your year of birth. You need to set your date of birth and time of birth, only for the year that you want to “see” whether there will be access to the energies of planets that are not at the center of your formula, or whether there will be a moment of “enlightenment” with the possibility of “adjustment”, assimilation and increasing the level of a “weak” or “retrograde” planet. Those planetary energies and forces that will become available to you over the next year (for example 2015), You can use it for a year (from the date of your birth), then the formula will change, you will need to build the next formula for the next year (2016). Special attention, pay attention to the planets that will stand in the center of the formula - these are the most powerful influences on your life! If, for example, you have a weak or retrograde Venus in your soul formula at the time of your birth, but for the current year it is strong, then this year you will have the opportunity and access to the energy of this planet. And, the main rule: do not sit idly by and wait for “manna from heaven,” but act and make efforts. And as they say

“May you be rewarded according to YOUR FAITH”!

Success and prosperity to you, Elena Asirius!

The first drinking games appeared in Ancient Greece. The feaster filled the cup with wine, drank it, slammed the bottom on the table and passed the cup to his neighbor. Since then, humanity has come up with many other interesting games. We will look at the rules of the most popular games with alcohol in Russia. They are designed for different numbers of people.

"Relay race".

A game of speed, coordination and teamwork.

In advance, the organizers prepare 2 tables, 2 bottles of the same alcohol, 2 glasses (glasses), 2 plates with any snack. A bottle of alcohol, a shot glass, and a plate of snacks are placed on each table.

Eight participants are divided into two teams of four people (6 of 3 are possible). The first numbers run up to their tables, fill their glasses, then return to their team and pass the baton to the second numbers. The second numbers drink the contents of the glasses, the third ones have a snack, the fourth ones pour it again. The first team to empty the bottle wins. You can agree in advance so that the roles of the participants change or there is the possibility of replacing a “tired” participant.

"Alcohol Roulette"

A series of games of luck with approximately the same rules.

Any number of players can participate. You will need water, vodka and three glasses. Two glasses are filled with vodka, one with water. The participants are blindfolded one by one (expelled to another room) and the glasses are rearranged. Task: drink from one glass and immediately wash it down with another, you cannot smell the contents. Then everything repeats all over again.

The unluckiest players will drink vodka with vodka. The one who lasts longest wins. In the West, this drinking game is called Russian roulette. More details in the video. The women's version uses wine and a matching color of juice, such as grape juice.

Beer lovers play differently. They take several cans of beer, one of which is shaken well so that it turns into a mini bomb. Then all the jars are mixed and distributed to the participants. After each round, one of the players will be covered in foam. It’s fun, but not aesthetically pleasing, and then you have to spend a long time cleaning the room and cleaning things.

"Sports Brudershaft".

It's better to play on the same team with your other half. You will need alcohol, shots and a snack.

Players are divided into pairs (man + woman). Each competing couple gets up, has a drink and kisses for 10 seconds without eating. Everything is repeated until one of the couples can drink or kiss instead of a snack. If the guys skip this circle, then they take off two things each, if they have a snack before the kiss, they take off one thing at a time. The end of the game is governed by the norms of decency.

"Signature Cocktail"

Suitable for daredevils who are not afraid to mix drinks. You will need one glass and different alcohol (at least three types).

3-4 participants take turns calling any alcoholic drink. Someone pours 20-30 ml of this ingredient into a glass. Next, in a circle, another player names the alcohol (you cannot repeat yourself), again add 20-30 ml to the glass. The one whose glass is full drinks the cocktail. In a more gentle version of the game, in addition to alcohol, you can add juices, sweet soda, for example, Coca-Cola and mineral water.

"Lunokhod".

The game will delight fans space travel. Before starting, those present must take it on their chest, otherwise it won’t be so fun.
One of the participants (preferably with the richest imagination) takes a snack with a drink and sits down on the sofa. It will be a lunar base. All the rest get down on all fours, they are given names: “Lunokhod 1”, “Lunokhod 2”, etc. At the beginning of the game, all lunar rovers move chaotically around the room.

At the request of the base dispatcher, they report on the task being performed, uttering phrases like: “I am Lunokhod N, I am heading to the base to refuel,” “I am exploring a new surface,” “I am looking for another Lunokhod,” “I am going around an obstacle,” etc. The main rule is not to laugh.

The laughing participant utters the phrase: “I am lunar rover N, I am going to the base to receive a new task” and moves on all fours to the sofa. Based on the accepted standards of decency in this company, the base gives the offending lunar rover a task (necessarily in a space style). For example, refuel with 300 milliliters of fuel, bring a new batch of fuel to the base, remove 3-4 skin parts, explore the surface of another lunar rover, dock with the base, etc. After completing the task, the base again begins to interview other lunar rovers.

"Guess the brand."

Mental exercise for erudites. Need brands of drinks with different names. For example, beer “Three Bears”, “Zhigulevskoe”, “Dragon”, “Fat Man”. It is desirable that the names be domestic, it is easier to show them.

Each participant is given one bottle (a label is optional). He must depict its name with facial expressions and gestures. If someone present guesses the name, the player can keep the bottle for himself. Those who do not know how to show correctly remain sober all evening.

"Travelers".

A simple game for those who love to travel. You will need a lot of alcohol and a map with the route of trains or electric trains (you can take a schedule).

Looking at the map, the presenter announces: “Next station N (settlement along the train route)”, the players drink a glass together. Gradually, passengers will leave the route. The one who travels the farthest wins.

"A Mighty Gulp."

Competition for veterans of the alcohol movement. Mostly played with beer, but other alcohol can be used. At first, the company is just having fun in a bar. The fun begins before you leave.

According to the rules of the game, opponents must drink the same dose of beer in a minimum number of sips, without lifting the glass. The loser pays the bill for all participants or the winner receives a predetermined prize.

"Steel Endurance"

You need to show endurance, character, the will to win and demonstrate the abilities of your bladder.

According to the rules, several people calmly drink beer; whoever breaks down first and runs to the toilet brings a new portion of booze to the other participants. To comply with the Fair Play principle, all participants must drink the same amount of beer every 20-30 minutes.

"Rotating Coin"

Requires coordination. Getting caught in a spinning coin while drunk is not as easy as it seems.

The first participant spins the coin on a flat surface, then calls the name of the player, who must flick it with his finger without stopping to give additional rotation. If at this moment the coin lands heads up, the loser drinks a penalty glass, if it lands tails, he drinks two glasses at once.

"The Nightingale the Robber."

Drinking game with cards. True, you won’t have to bluff, build strategies and solve combinations. Just correct breathing.

A bottle is placed on the table, the neck is covered with a deck of new or plastic cards. The players' task is to blow away a few cards, but not the entire deck. The participant who discarded the last card drinks the penalty pile, and the game starts over.

“The right words (New Year’s).”

A game of attentiveness; those who want to drink are more active than others.

During the New Year celebration (another holiday), the TV turns on. In advance, the company agrees on a word, upon hearing which from the TV everyone drinks in unison. For example, it could be: “new”, “congratulations”, “dear”. The more popular the word, the more alcohol you will need.

"Alcobox".

A real competition for the strong in spirit. Will be needed dice, alcoholic drinks and shot glasses.

Two players sit opposite each other, their partners act as coaches and seconds. The “boxers” take turns throwing the dice; the one with the fewest points misses the blow and drinks a glass. Trainers fill the shot glasses and keep track of time. Each round lasts 3 minutes, then a 60 second break.

The fight ends with a knockout of one of the fighters, capitulation of the team (seeing the obvious superiority of the opponent, the coach removes the pile) or after 12 rounds (draw).

"Bottle."

A modification of a game known from childhood. In addition to alcohol, you need one empty bottle.

4-10 people stand in a circle, one of them spins the bottle, whoever points to the neck, drinks a glass (glass, glass) alcoholic drink. At the end, the lucky ones, who are not too drunk, take their less fortunate colleagues home.

"Gymnastics".

You need to show the ability to handle a gymnastics hoop while holding alcohol in your hands. You will need several plastic hoops, glasses and a low-alcohol drink.

The participants' task is to spin the hoop around their neck, arm or leg and at the same time drink from a glass. If the hoop falls off, the player is eliminated. The one who drinks the fastest or lasts the longest wins. Without training, only a few reach the finish line.

"Bottle hands."

A game based on the famous film "Edward Scissorhands".

A bottle of beer, low-alcohol drink or wine is taped to each hand of the participants with tape or tape. The player must first drink their contents and only then try to remove the empty container. The fastest one wins.

"The signal to drink."

The main thing is not to relax and keep an eye on your drinking buddies.

At the beginning of the party, the company selects a signalman who will lead the process of emptying the glasses. If the signalman places on the table thumb left hand, holding the remaining fingers at the table, everyone who noticed this does the same. The last one to put his finger on the table becomes the penalty box. Everyone drinks once, he drinks twice.

"Lucky Nut"

A simple slow drinking game. You need glasses of beer and peanuts.

On command, all participants throw one salted nut into their glasses. At first, the peanuts will sink, but after a while, under the influence of carbon dioxide bubbles, they will float to the surface. The one whose nut comes up last loses. He pays the general bill.

P.S. You can prepare in advance by purchasing special play sets. For example, alcoholic checkers, darts, roulette or another board game.
