The Guard Drinking Game Rules
Play this The Guard drinking game for sharp laughs and sudden danger in equal measure. John Michael McDonagh mixes crime and comedy with a hard edge, and it never lets the mood stay steady for long. You get Brendan Gleeson at his most bold, and Don Cheadle trying to keep a straight face in a town that will not help him out.
The Guard runs 96 minutes, so it fits an easy movie night. Keep your drink nearby and lean into the banter, the odd calm moments, and the bursts of violence. The jokes hit fast, the tension spikes, and the rules keep you locked in from start to end.
The Guard Drinking Game Rules:
- Take a sip when Gerry Boyle drops a dry one-liner after something grim

- Take a sip when someone mentions cocaine, drugs, or the smuggling operation

- Take a sip when Boyle is seen smoking or lighting up
- Drink when Boyle visits his mother, calls her, or her health takes center stage
- Take a sip when Irish slang or local talk leaves Everett on the outside
- Drink when the Garda station feels more like a hangout than a workplace (tea, gossip, or casual chaos)
- Drink when Mark Strong’s character shows up and the mood turns cold
- Take a sip when Boyle insults someone’s intelligence, manners, or “professional” style
- Drink when the film cuts to a crime scene, evidence photos, or a body being handled
- Finish your drink when a major shootout kicks off and Boyle commits to the fight
- Finish your drink when Everett and Boyle finally move as a real team, with no second-guessing
