Laura Minquini – Somethings

The game of Lotería is defined as a Mexican game of chance, similar to Bingo, but using images on a deck of cards instead of plain numbers on ping pong balls. It is actually very nice to look at as the illustrations are interesting and it is good to learn Spanish vocabulary. It is a very family oriented game played by children and adults. In France this can change radically. A la Française you need alcohol; something very French and very sweet like Napoleon Mandarin, some Cognac, perhaps some vodka.

The best ratio for the game is three gay man, one straight guy and one straight girl.
A full “luna”

and a mistral would be great to increase the “chance” and “randomness” factor or shall we just call it the “fou-ness”.
The new French rules are as follows: the winner not only gets to call the cards, picks who will ingest a shot, fortunately the lucky person can chose their poison. The girl tends to go for the mandarin, slowly warming up to the vodka, never cognac, she has to stay “la estrella”.

The straight guy does cognac and the other boys range in choice. If you have a “borracho”

in the group he will probably want vodka and to be picked at all times. To add more Frenchness to to the game the rules change once more and clothing has to start coming off, mais nudity is so normal in France. Non? Now the winner can also pick a piece of clothing to be removed by whoever they want. And voila! This is how it is done when in France. Be warned: serious hangovers and complete nudity might be involved. Worst case scenarios involve total black outs of moments you want to remember and some you want to forget.
¡Lotería!
