Full Pyramid rules

By order of the Commissioner

Official Rules: Pyramid

  1. Setup. Twenty-one cards face down in a pyramid: rows of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
  2. Your hand. Three cards. Look once. Lay them face down. No peeking.
  3. The flip. Bottom row first. Each card is worth its row: 1 drink on the bottom, up to 6 at the top.
  4. Claim it. Say you hold that rank, and give the drinks to anyone. True or not.
  5. Drink, or call the bluff. Called? Turn over the card. Match: the caller drinks double. No match: the claimer drinks double.
  6. Shown a card? Replace it from the deck. Look once.
  7. The recital. After the top card, name your three cards, then turn them over. One drink for each wrong one.
