Pyramid - Drinking Game Rules & How to Play

Climb the pyramid of cards and give out drinks

Equipment Needed

• Deck of cards
• Drinks

Setup

Deal each player 4 cards. Create a pyramid face-down: 5-4-3-2-1 rows.

How to Play Pyramid

1. Start at the bottom row (5 cards). Flip a card.
2. Anyone with a matching value can give 1 drink (bottom row = 1, up to top = 5).
3. You can bluff! Say you have a match even if you don't.
4. Anyone can call your bluff. If you lied, drink double. If you didn't, they drink double.
5. Work up the pyramid, each row worth more drinks.
6. The player with the most cards at the end rides the bus!

Tips & Strategies

Save your high-value matches for the top rows. Learn to bluff convincingly!

Variations
