Bussen

The Dutch drinking card classic — three phases of questions, a pyramid of sips, and one unlucky bus driver.

3 Phases Drinking Game Phone Controller

How to play

Three phases. One bus ride home.

Configure the game on your phone, then work through Phase 1 questions, a pyramid reveal, and the final bus.

Phase 1 — Card Questions

Rood of Zwart?

Each player answers four questions in order. Guess wrong and you drink.

  • Q1 Rood of Zwart? — Red or black suit
  • Q2 Hoger, Lager of Paaltje? — Higher, lower, or same as your first card
  • Q3 Binnen of Buiten? — Between or outside your two cards
  • Q4 Heb je de soort? — Do you already have this suit?

Phase 2 — Pyramid

De Piramide

A triangle of face-down cards is revealed one by one, bottom to top. Higher rows mean more sips.

  • Row 1 1 sip — 5 cards
  • Row 2 2 sips — 4 cards
  • Row 3 3 sips — 3 cards
  • Row 4 4 sips — 2 cards
  • Row 5 5 sips — 1 card (top)

Phase 3 — The Bus

Pak de Bus

The player with the most drinks becomes the bus driver. Guess higher or lower for each hidden card in the row. Wrong guess = drink and restart.

  • ⬆️ Higher than the current card
  • ⬇️ Lower than the current card
  • 🎯 Paaltje — exactly the same value
  • 🔖 Checkpoint (optional) — restart from middle

Quick rules

The essentials.

Everything you need to know before the first card is flipped.

🃏

4–7 cards per player

Configure before the game starts. More cards = more questions in Phase 1.

🟰

Equal card rule

Lose — equal counts as wrong. Everyone — all players drink. Double — you drink double.

🔺

Pyramid size

3–6 rows. Default 5 rows = 15 cards. Top card is worth the most sips.

🚌

Bus mode

Closed — all cards hidden. Open — cards visible after guess. Mixed — alternating.

🔖

Checkpoint

Off / Middle / Random. Wrong guess restarts from the checkpoint instead of the beginning.

🎯

Paaltje

Bet that the next card is exactly the same value. Risky — but it pays off.
