The new Viking then does the "Viking horns," but the player on each side of the "Viking" must now "steer the boat," which entails rowing to whatever side of the Viking the player is sitting on: right of the Viking rows right, left rows the boat left. The player makes "wiggly Viking horns," (simply thumbs in, or near, ears and wiggles the remaining fingers for a second or two) & then claps both palms together & points them at any other player, who becomes the new Viking. As soon as everyone that's playing the drinking game is sitting in a circle, pick someone to go first.
