How to play Bullshit Drinking Game
Before we get into the gameplay, let’s take a look at what you will need to play Bullshit as a Drinking Game.
What do you need to play?
- A 52-card deck (if you’re more than 6 people, you’ll need two card decks)
- Plenty of alcohol (we recommend beer)
- 3-10 players
Gameplay
If you want to know how to play the Bullshit drinking game, follow these steps:
1. Deal out all the cards:
Choose a person to be the dealer. The dealer shuffles the deck and deals out all the cards, one at a time, clockwise around the table until there are no cards left.
2. The person to the left of the dealer starts:
The person to the dealer’s left starts the game by playing one or more cards from their hand face down on the table. The first player must begin with aces. When the player puts down one or more cards, they must announce what it is, for example, in this case, “two aces”.
3. The next player must play a higher card:
The next player must then play one (or more) card from their hand, which is higher than the previous ones.
For example: If the first player plays two aces, the second player could play one, two, or two threes. If the second player plays a two, the third player could play two threes. This way, the cards played get progressively higher as the game continues. When reaching the end of the available cards, e.g., a King played after a Queen, an Ace can be played to “loop back around” to a Two.
4. If you cannot play a higher card, you have to bluff:
If you cannot play any card from your hand higher than the previous one, you must lie about the cards in your hand and play any card(s) from your hand. The other players must then decide whether or not they believe you.
For example, if the player before you played two queens, and you don’t have any cards higher than queens in your hand, you might say “two kings” and play any two cards from your hand.
5. If someone challenges you, you have to show them your cards:
If another player thinks you are lying about the cards in your hand at any point during the game, they can challenge you. That means you have to show them your cards.
6. If they are correct, you have two choices:
If you’ve been got caught lying, you have two options. You pick up all the cards from the table, add them to your hand, or drink.
7. If they are wrong, the challenger has two choices:
They can either pick up all the cards from the table and add them to their hand or drink. 🍻
8. The winner is the first player to get rid of all their cards:
The game continues until one player has no cards left in their hand. That player is the winner!

3. Pyramid - Drinking Game
Pyramid requires a good poker face and memory! But don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it sounds.
How to Play Pyramid
- Setup the pyramid: The dealer places cards face down in a 6-5-4-3-2-1 pyramid. Then they hand out four cards to each player.
- Every player gets four hand cards. They’re only allowed to take a quick lock at their cards (around 5-10 seconds). Then they have to put them face down in front of them.
- The dealer starts the game: The dealer turns over one card at a time, starting at the bottom of the pyramid. If the turned-over card matches one of your hand cards, you can tell the others to drink. Of course, you always have the opportunity to bluff. But beware, if you get caught bluffing, you have to drink twice the amount!
- Every row represents the number of drinks. So if it’s the first row, the person has to take one drink. If it’s the second row, they have to take two drinks and so on.
- If you think a player is lying, you can call their bluff. But be careful, if you’re wrong, you have to drink the amount that was on the row + 1 additional drink! If you were right, the liar has to drink double.
