About this game

Pyramid Card Game is a private, peer-to-peer card game for 2 to 6 friends. Create a room, share its private 10-character code, and play together from your own phones. No account is required.

Each game uses a standard 52-card deck. The host chooses the number of cards per player and a pyramid base size, then deals every player a private hand and builds a face-down pyramid. During Preparation, look at your own cards and press Ready. When every player is ready, the game begins.

The host reveals pyramid cards one at a time, starting on the bottom row and moving upward. Every revealed card has a point value: lower rows are worth fewer points and higher rows are worth more. For each card, every player chooses Pass or Got it. A player who chooses Got it selects which other players should receive that row's points.

Each selected player decides whether to say Ok and take the points, or Liar! and challenge the claim. When challenged, the claimant must prove the claim with a different card from their private hand for every Liar! call. A matching proof awards double points to the challenger. An incorrect proof, or choosing Oops!, awards double points to the claimant. Proof cards remain visible until the claimant turns them face-down.

The final pyramid card is a Superpoint, shown as S instead of a regular number. When the pyramid is complete, reveal hands and compare totals: the player with the lowest score wins.

Pyramid Card Game keeps the host authoritative for the deck, scoring, turns, and rules, while each player keeps their hand private until they choose to reveal a card. Reconnect to an open game if your connection briefly drops, then get back to the table and continue the round.
