Equipment Needed To Play The Barbie Drinking Game

Hi Barbie! Hi Ken! We won’t trouble you much. Here’s all you need to play this lovely drinking game without cards:

• A bunch of friends. The coolest thing about such games is the flexibility of players. So, you may either play it by yourself only or with 2 to 20+ other people. 
• The new Barbie movie. If you need a hand, the movie is available on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. 
• A device to watch the movie. If there are more people watching, make sure you play Barbie on a TV or projector, for a better experience. 
• Drinks for everyone playing. We recommend beers (2-3 per person), because it’s lighter, and with this game, you’ll get to drink a lot! 

Right below, you’ll find 3 categories of rules, hence, 3 different amounts of drinking. That comes because of the repetition of specific scenes & phrases.
