Game Of Thrones Season 8: 12 Details You Might've Missed In 'The Last Of The Starks'

8. Tyrion's Favourite Drinking Game

A celebration means wine, and wine means Tyrion gets to play his favourite drinking game, which is essentially a Westerosi spin on 'Never Have I Ever'.

He first played this game way back in Season 1, alongside Bronn and Shae, and then attempted to play it with Grey Worm and Missandei in Season 6 (much less successfully). Interestingly, on the first occasion, the subject of Tyrion's first wife, Tysha, is brought up, and she gets indirectly mentioned again here.

The full, awful story of Tysha and Tyrion's relationship (including Jaime's role and how much worse Tywin was) never made it into the show, and there's definitely not time for it to now, with this passing reference likely the last we'll hear of it.
