Beeramid
Submitted by Dan 

What You Will Need:

People
Beer
One deck of cards

How to Play:

A Beeramid of cards is constructed by placing seven
cards face down in a row as the base and building up 
until there is one card as the top of the Beeramid/Pyramid. 
The remaining cards are distributed as evenly as possible 
among the players. The dealer turns over the first card 
at the base of the beeramid and calls out the card value. 
Anyone who *claims* to have that card may give one drink 
to anyone else. That person may either drink or call their 
bluff. If the first person has the card after all, he 
shows the card and the victim drinks twice. If he doesn't 
have it, he drinks twice himself. 

Once a row of the Beeramid is completed, the first card 
on the next row is drawn, and every card now has the same 
value as its row. Each person with a card on the second 
row can give two drinks, on the third row three drinks, 
all the way up to the seventh row. All bluffs calls 
double the value of the row. 

If someone has more than one of a card (say a five is 
drawn and someone has two fives in his hand) he can give 
both fives to the same person or split them up. He only 
needs to show both cards if both players call his bluff; 
if only one player calls bluff he only needs to show 
one card. 

At the seventh row, if people are taking honest drinks, 
a bluff call should result in about a full beer's 
consumption by somebody.
