At about Time Marker 6:30, there's a ritual of 2 Girls displaying Fingers. At the same time, each Girl says a number. If one Girl says '5' while that's the total combination of the Fingers displayed, she 'wins' that Round. She gets to open her Gift first. This Finger Ritual is also a Drinking Game there where the 'Winner' guessing the total number of Fingers downs a Shot of their 'White Lightning' Liquor. The Game is also played where the Loser guessing incorrectly downs a Shot. Either set of Rules leads to serious Hammer Time, since the Rounds go so quickly.
