It seems like it’s been ages since I’ve experienced a decent night of drinking and general debauchery. Maybe I’m just getting older or I’m a little more mature than I used to be, but the usual drinking games and drunken antics aren’t doing it for me anymore. I need something new, something different and exciting to perk up my weekend social gatherings. I want something that when my friends come over and see it, they won’t be able to believe their eyes. They will stand, chins dropped in awe, rendered powerless by the sheer magnificence of such an item. It’s not too much to ask, right?
Thanks goodness for the Spin N Shot Roulette Drinking Game (Drinkstuff, £15.98), or I would still be searching in vain for that majestic essential party accessory. Ok, so the appeal of this thing should be fairly obvious because it combines gambling and drinking, two things that go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you like gambling, you could be tempted to just take the easy way out and get some card games going on. That’s cool, but maybe you want to switch it up every now and then, so it would be good to have a back-up. Enter a roulette wheel and you’ve got a whole new party aesthetic happening. I don’t know if I’d want to play roulette Vegas style because it seems way too easy to lose the house, but if you’re playing for shots, then I don’t really see the harm. Each shot glass corresponds with two or three numbers, so you have a greater chance of your shot “winning” each time you play. If you’re hardcore, you could just refill the shot glasses as you go, or if you have any sympathy for your liver, you could just leave them empty after the first number is selected. There are a total of 16 shot glasses on the wheel, which means you could invite 15 friends to a crazy Vegas themed party.
I never really was a big Vegas fan. I mean, I like the whole idea of gambling and boozing in the afternoon, but that’s really only fun for a couple of hours. After that, unless you’re Bill Gates, you’re flat broke and the seeds of a hangover start to set in. And that’s just depressing.
4 out of 5 stars.
