Ready for a few rounds? Explanation: I guess you don't want to repeat the word "crawl" if it already appears on the title. I thought this might work, even if there is no obvious link with card playing, as "a few rounds" can be used in the context of sports, games and drinking. |

peer agreement (net): +1Doing the rounds in a sunny southern city Explanation: The Spanish idea doesn't work, and I think we just need to write something completely different. "Doing the rounds" means going to lots of different places - a bit like moving round a game board, in fact. At the risk of stating the obvious, to buy a round is to buy drinks for all your friends. And "sunny southern city" is just there for rhythm and alliteration. I assume this is some kind of genteel stroll rather than an organised orgy of drinking. |

Bar hopping on the French Riviera Explanation: Corny but that's what popped up. On the other hand, can't get more clear than this. |

Hot shots pub crawl Explanation: 3 Google hits for "hot shots pub crawl"... (shots of tequila, whisky, etc) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2016-05-26 10:09:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.hamburgstag.com/night-activities/bar-crawl-club-a... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2016-05-26 10:11:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think the Spanish expression is "de par en par" (two by two) and it refers to throwing a double, so you get to throw again. Difficult to find a similar saying in English, (perhaps something with throwing up if it's cheap liquor?) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2016-05-26 10:49:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The original Spanish term is "de oca a oca y tiro porque me toca" from 'el juego de la oca', a sort of snakes and ladders/parchis type game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_the_Goose -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2016-05-26 10:50:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So it really just means "me next". I doubt you'll find an equivalent rhyming wordplay in English, so I'd probably just make something similar up that sounds good. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2016-05-26 14:58:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1439221/Faliraki-call... |

Make mine a double Explanation: I think it is going to be very difficult to find something that captures the original. This at least has the 'double' in it and refers to drinking. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2016-05-26 15:18:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I totally agree but given the difficulty of including references to goose-related games, this seemed to me to pick up something from the original and at least gives the asker a few ideas. |
