CORMAC MCCARTHY’S THE ROAD UNRECKONABLY DARK DRINKING GAME

Best played with the grimmest grog you can lay your hands on. Home-made spirits distilled from the ashen, stagnant pond near your underground bunker preferred.

while reading, take:

• a sip for every time the man and the boy make camp for the night
• a sip for every description of desolate cityscapes
• a sip for a line of repeated dialogue

• a drink for every time the man envies the dead
• a drink for every time they unload the cart to cross an obstacle
• a drink for every hidden cache found just before complete starvation

• a shot for evidence of cannibalism/mass grave
• a shot every time the man coughs blood
• a shot for every use of the word unreckonable

two shots for every description of ruined books left rotting and swollen with water, so very representative of man’s lost future

THIS IS NOT A GAME YOU WIN!
