==Rules== Players are arranged in a circle, facing inwards. The game begins with one player calling the direction of play by saying, "I propose a game of XXXX! To my left..." or "To my right..." followed by a sequential series of numbers beginning with one. Variations exist for the proposal of the game depending on personal rules; this is due to some variants calling for ''any'' person who says the number "21" to drink. For example: * "I propose a game of 21!" * "I propose a game of 20...22!" * "I propose a game of twenty plus one!" * "I propose a game of the unspeakable number!" As the game progresses, each player in turn must recite one to four numbers, counting in [[sequence]] from where the previous player left off: * Saying one number (e.g. "one") passes the game to the next player in the circle in the initial direction. * Saying two numbers (e.g. "one, two") passes to the next player, but reverses direction. * Saying three numbers (e.g. "one, two, three") passes in the initial direction, but skips a player. * Saying four numbers (e.g. "one, two, three, four") reverses direction and skips a player. If a player makes a mistake, then they suffer a small to moderate drinking penalty (e.g. 2 fingers of drink) and then restart the game from 1. Mistakes include: * Hesitating to continue the game. * Calling the wrong number. * Calling a number out of turn. * Breaching any original or instated rule. Assuming there are no mistakes, the game will continue in sequence up to 21. The player who calls 21 suffers a heavy drinking penalty (e.g. finishing their drink), [[nomic|creates a new rule]], then restarts the game from 1.
