Fancy a game of Dropoly?


It was during my lunch break today, on the way back from Chicken Licken via Exclusive Books to collect my copy of Black and Beautiful: Swimsuit Edition that I stumbled upon this little gem proudly brought to you by SARU and my very own uncle, P Divvy:

DROPOLY – The board game with extra kick... Because the game’s not over ‘til the very last drop(goal).

Players: 1 – 8
Ages: 18 years and older
Setup time: 10 – 12 minutes
Playing time: 80 minutes
Skills required: NONE!! Just a bottle (or 8) Kellerprinz Late Harvest, Capenheimer , Autumn Harvest Crackling or Witzenberg Stein..

The Rules:
Every player needs to take a sip from his/her drink whenever any of the following happens during the match:
  • Sky’s “Sideline commentator” Tony Johnson starts yelling vivaciously, and in the process also “jizz in his pants” when Richie McCaw creates a turnover. (‘Cause let’s face it, NO other player in world rugby quite does it for Tony like the All Black skipper....)
  • Ruan Pienaar misses a penalty or conversion
  • It sounds as if Grant Fox is going to start crying when the referee awards a penalty against the All Blacks
  • The camera crew film yet another one of Cape Town’s coloured community wearing an All Blacks jersey in the stands
  • Danie Rossouw drops the ball/knocks on
  • The All Blacks lose a line out
  • Bismarck du Plessis hits one of the opposition with a late tackle, only to apologise 0.28 seconds later, gesturing it was all unintentional and accidental
  • Anyone of the Sky commentators mentions any one of the words “altitude”, “veldt” or “above sea level” in a phrase/sentence
  • The camera crew show P Divvy and Dick Muir hugging and kissing in the coaching booth
  • Francois Steyn has an attempt at a long range drop goal
  • Ma’a Nonu decides to take on the defence instead of passing the ball
  • Chilliboy Ralapele makes a cameo appearance with less than a minute to go in the match
  • All Blacks forwards coach Steve Hansen says they’ll “attempt to address the issues at line outs next week” during a post match interview
  • A Springbok player, captain or one of the coaching staff says “it’s back to the drawing board for us” at the post match interview

The following will result in you downing/sculling your drink:

  • Ruan Pienaar being successful with a penalty or conversion
  • The last player/contestant to shout “Beeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssttt” when Tendai touches the ball
  • Anyone of the Sky commentators mentions any two of the words “altitude”, “veldt” or “sea level” in the same phrase/sentence.
  • Danie Rossouw manages to hold on to a pass
  • Steve Hansen claiming the All Blacks hooker and locks actually did practise line outs at their training sessions during the week
  • Graham Henry mentions the word “composure” at the post match interview

Geez.... Looksh loik "hic".. a lot of... "hic".... fun to me, raaightsh??

Hou dit regtig, my huisie!! (Keep it real, my homey!)
