This game is meant to be fun, but please drink responsibly if you decide to play. These are also merely guidelines--you may decide you do not want to use all of the incidents in question. Most of the answers I came up with on my own while watching many, many episodes of Match Game. However, I did consult the Match Game Mania Drinking Game , which you may visit if you would like to see another incarnation of the game.
