Beeramid: The Ultimate Drinking Card Game Guide

Boomit: The Party Game to play with your friends!

What You Need for Beeramid

Here’s what you’ll need to start the game:

• A deck of cards (standard 52 cards)
• A flat surface for the beeramid pyramid of cards
• Plenty of beer (or other beverages of choice)
• At least two players (the more, the better!)

Now that you have your supplies, it’s time to construct the pyramid and learn the rules.

How to Set Up the Beeramid

Building the Beeramid is quick and easy:

1. Start with the base: Lay a number of cards face down in a row—typically 7 cards for larger groups or 5 cards for smaller groups.
2. Add rows on top, with one fewer card in each row, until you reach the card as the top of the pyramid.
3. Deal the remaining cards evenly among all players. These will be used for bluffing, drinking, or calling others out.

The base and building process is simple, but the fun begins once the cards start flipping.

Rules of the Beeramid Drinking Game

The rules are straightforward but packed with opportunities for bluffing and hilarious twists:

1. Flip the Card

The dealer starts by flipping the first card from the base row of the beeramid and announcing its value.

2. Drink or Call

If a player has a matching card in their hand, they can call the bluff by assigning a drink to another player. For example:

• Player 1 flips a 5 and claims to have it in their hand.
• Player 2 must choose to either drink the assigned amount or call “Bullshit!”

3. Prove It or Pay

If a player challenges with “Bullshit!”, here’s what happens:

• If the original player shows the matching card, the challenger drinks double the row value.
• If the claim was a bluff, the original player drinks double the row value.

4. Escalating Drinks

The game becomes more intense as you move up the pyramid:

• Row 1 = 1 drink
• Row 2 = 2 drinks
• Row 3 = 3 drinks
• …up to the seventh row, where stakes are at their highest.

5. Players Call Bullshit

Players can strategize by splitting up multiple matching cards or assigning them to different opponents. If players call bullshit, the card owner must show both cards to prove their claim.

6. Penalty Beer

On the seventh row, the game reaches its climax. A wrong call or a failed bluff here can result in about a full beer being consumed! The unlucky player must finish the Penalty Beer without stopping.

This dynamic mix of bluffing, strategy, and escalating risks keeps everyone on their toes.

Tips and Variations for Beeramid

• Row If People Are Too Honest: If players are reluctant to bluff, incentivize them with bonus points or penalties for avoiding risky moves.
• Customize the Pyramid: Adjust the number of cards face down in a row to fit the group size.
• Creative Penalty Beer: Use an awful-tasting brew or a bizarre cocktail to up the stakes for losing a bullshit call.

Adding these variations keeps the game fresh and unpredictable every time you play.
