B-S is a fun game that is played around a counter table that requires some memorization as well as some creative thinking. This is best played with a group of people anywhere from around 3-8 people. All you need for this game is a full deck of cards, pitcher of beer to keep the game moving, and a table to play around.
To play: To start, deal four cards to everyone at the table. The players cannot look at their cards until told to do so, its important that they don’t cheat and look before hand. Next the dealer puts five cards, all face down in a row, then four above it, three, two and one, so it looks like a big triangle when all the cards are on the table. Once all cards are out the players will have a couple seconds literally 2-3 seconds) to memorize their cards, players do not need to remember the suits. Each player must remember which card is which when they put the cards back on the table.
The game is started with one person flipping over one of the cards in the row with six cards. This row is worth 2 drinks, next row 4 drinks, then 6, 8, and the last row with 10. At any card that is flipped over any person can tell someone else to take the amount of drinks that go along with it. If the player receiving the drinks doesn’t believe the person who game them they call BS on the player and the player must flip over the correct card. If they don’t have the card, or chose their wrong card they have to take double, but if they show the correct card the other person has to drink double. So if the game was in the second row and someone didn’t believe that person, there would be 8 drinks that would be given to one of the two people. So you can lie about having certain cards to make others drink. It can add up quickly though especially if someone calls out the last card for 20 drinks.
When all cards in the triangle have been flipped over each player says what each card is before flipping it over, and does this with all cards. If a player is wrong with any card they have to drink the difference between the two cards. For example, if the player calls a 7 and flips over a Jack the player must take 4 drinks and continue to the next card.
