Pyramid

A game involving no skill whatsoever but rather a game of luck. And luck is what you will need in order to avoid getting a nice buzz when playing this game.

Rules:

Deal out a pyramid of cards - row of 5 at the bottom, then 4, 3 2 and 1 at the top. The player must turn over a card in every row and get to the top card without turning over a face card or an ace. The scores are for a "10" take one sip but you may carry on; Jack, 2 sips; Queen, 3 sips; King, 4 sips; and an Ace, 5 sips. If the player turns over a Jack, Queen, King or Ace they must start again with that card being replaced with a card from the deck (and all other cards turned over in the process must be replaced as well)! The Deck gets reshuffled continuously. Warning, it can get very depressing when you get to the top only to find an Ace! Special Rule: The player must be warned that they are not allowed to quit no matter how long it takes. I have personally seen this game take over an hour to get out!
