BUS DRIVER RULES

Round 1 – Drawing cards

Round 1 – Drawing cards

Each player draws four cards in a predetermined sequence. Before drawing, they must guess a characteristic of the card. If they are right, nothing happens. If they are wrong, they have to drink.

  1. First card – red or black:
    The player guesses whether the top card of the deck is red or black. If the guess is wrong, the player has to drink.
  2. Second Card – Higher or Lower:
    Now you guess whether the next card is higher, lower or the same as the first card. If the player is wrong, he has to drink.
  3. Third card – inside or outside:
    Now the player guesses whether the next card is within or outside the values ​​of his previous cards. A wrong guess means drinking.
  4. Fourth card – guess the colors:
    Finally, the player must guess the exact color (hearts, diamonds, spades, clubs) of the next card. If he guesses incorrectly, he must drink.

Each player keeps the cards he draws in his hand.

Round 2 – The Pyramid

Round 2 – The Pyramid

In the second round of the game, a pyramid of 6 or 10 face-down cards is laid out. Each player now has the 4 cards from the previous round in their hand. The players reveal the cards in the bottom row one after the other. If a revealed card matches a card in a player's hand, that player puts down his card and drinks. (E.g. Ace in the hand is placed on the revealed ace.)

  • First row: A match means the player drinks 1 sip.
  • Second row: If there is a match, 2 sips must be taken.
  • Third row: 3 sips for a match.
  • Fourth row: 4 sips if the card matches.

...

At the end, the player with the most cards in their hand becomes the bus driver for the third round. If someone is the only one with cards left, they automatically lose. In the event of a tie, the player with the lowest card becomes the bus driver.

Round 3 – The Bus Driver

Round 3 – The Bus Driver

In the final round, the loser takes the wheel and drives the "bus". One card after another is revealed, and for each card the player must predict whether the next card will be higher, lower or the same. If he is right, the next card is revealed. If he is wrong, he has to take a drink and the game starts again. The "bus driver" is only finished when he has managed to correctly predict five cards in a row without making a mistake.
