Pyramid Card Game

This game can be played with one deck, (with 2-3 players) or with two decks, (with 2-5 players).

Game Objective

Get rid of all your cards by placing them in numerical order with consistent suits before the other players.

Game Setup

2-3 or 2-5 players: deal 15 cards face down to each player, with the extra cards face down between them for the drawing deck. Players are allowed to look at cards once all have been dealt.

How to Play with one deck

If any of the player's 15 cards consist of aces or jacks, they must put them down in separate rows for each type of card immediately. The only type of card that is allowed to be played off an ace is a two, being sure that the cards are consistent of the same suit and are in numerical order. Players cannot play the next number card until the one before it has been placed off the ace or card in front of it. For example, if player 1 has a 5 of hearts and player 2 has a 6 of hearts, player 2 cannot play the six until player 1 has placed the 5 off the 4. The jacks and other royal cards will be played in separate columns beside the number cards. The jacks will be played first (like the aces) and then the queens and kings (ensuring that they are consistent in suit) will be built off them. If there is nothing you can play, draw cards from the draw pile until there is something you can play.

How to play with two decks

Follow previously stated rules, but instead of of one pile of each suit, there will be two.

How to win

Win this game by getting rid of all of your cards, and slapping the table when out of cards while yelling pyramid.
