Each round of the game begins with: "The name of the game is Zoom, Schwartz Profigliano". Although all drinking games should begin with something along these lines, it is particularly important in this game as you can change the rules each round.

Then, the first player looks at anyone else in the circle and says Zoom. They can look at anyone else and say Zoom (but you can never "Zoom the Zoomer").

Instead of saying Zoom, they can look at the person who gave them the turn and say "Schwartz". This passes it back to them(and is the move to stick with if you aren't any good at drinking games). You can also look at any other player and say "Profigliano". This is the same as a "Schwartz" (ie. whoever zoomed you gets the turn), but you can look at anyone - beaucoup confusing!

You must make eye contact whenever making a move. If you fuck up you drink. Once everyone's got the hang of it, you can bring other rules in one-by-one:

Butaman - gives the turn to the person on your right, no matter who you look at.

Coleman - give the turn to the person to the left of _whoever you look at_.

Smith - gives it to yourself, no matter who you look at. This won't fool any true gamers, but it might work sometimes for newbies. Uncle Toby? - gives it to the person 2 to the right of _whoever you look at_. Before they move, though, the person you looked at must say "yooooouuuu raaaaaannng?" like Lurch from the Addam's Family. Once they've done this, the person 2 to their right makes their move. Morowitz - gives it to the person who spoke 2 turns before the Morowitz was used, e.g. Butaman, Zoom, Morowitz - whoever said the Butaman now has the turn. (This is a real prick, if you find any hard-drinking maths students look out!)

To add these other rules, you name them at the start of the round, e.g. "The name of the game is Zoom, Schwartz, Profigliano, Coleman" is the standard game with the Coleman move - if someone tries "Butaman" or something they drink.

There must always be a minimum of 2 moves in the game.

Note that you can say "the name of the game is Butaman Coleman", meaning that you can never do Zoom; you can also say "The name of the game is Morowitz Smith", but this would be a really stupid idea.
