3 Rounds

1. Four Cards
2. The Pyramid
3. The Bus

Four rounds of cards

We start with Buses with four rounds where the cards are dealt. Each round, an additional card is added. After the fourth round, everyone has four cards with which they will play the beer pyramid.

First, designate a dealer who distributes the cards among the players.

• Round 1: Guess the color of the card.

  • Correct? Give 1 sip. Incorrect? Take 1 sip.

• Round 2: Higher or lower than the first card?

  • Correct? Give 2 sips. Incorrect? Take 2 sips. Tie? Take 4 sips.

• Round 3: Is the value within or outside the first two cards?

  • Correct? Give 3 sips. Incorrect? Take 3 sips. Tie? Take 6 sips.

• Round 4: Do you have the card's suit already?

  • Correct? Give 4 sips. Incorrect? Take 4 sips.

The Pyramid

With the remaining cards, build a pyramid. Place the cards face down on the table so that the numbers and pictures are not visible. Start with a bottom row of 5 cards and work upwards to form a pyramid. This means the first row has 5 cards, the second row has 4 cards, the third row has 3 cards, and so on.

The bottom row of cards in the pyramid is worth 1 sip. Each row up increases the number of sips by one. The top of the pyramid is ultimately worth 5 sips.

When a card is turned over in the pyramid with your number on it, you can place your card and distribute the sips among your fellow players. You can also give all sips to one player.

The player with the most cards left after the pyramid is played loses!

In case of a tie? The losers with the most cards left draw a card; the highest card loses and goes on the bus!

On the bus...

The loser of the beer pyramid is now left and must ride the bus.

The dealer lays out 4 cards face up on the table and 2 cards face down. Now there are 6 cards next to each other on the table. The dealer places the remaining cards next to them on the table and asks: Higher or lower? The loser must now guess whether the card the dealer is going to lay down will be higher or lower.

• Correct? Move on to the next card!
• Incorrect? At which card did you make the mistake?
  • 1st card: 1 sip
  • 2nd card: 2 sips
  • 3rd card: 3 sips
  • 4th card: 4 sips
  • 5th card: 5 sips
  • 6th card: 6 sips

If the card was a tie? Double the number of sips.

When a wrong guess is made, the loser starts again from scratch!

The Bus is only completed when all 6 cards are guessed correctly in a row or when the card game is over.

Good luck!
