'''Pyramid''' is a high-risk [[chancery]] game played with hexagonal cards; a Colonial version of [[Wikipedia:poker game|poker]]. [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] is about to win a large pot when an alert interrupts the game ([[Saga of a Star World]]). Starbuck and [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] play Pyramid with [[Boxey (TOS)|Boxey]] in [[Bachelor officer's quarters|the barracks]] (with jellybeans as the stakes instead of [[cubit]]s) to help keep him occupied when [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] fails to report back from a patrol. Boxey wins a large pot by having a "full pyramid" ([[The Lost Warrior]]).

== Hands ==

In order of superiority:

* Full pyramid ([[The Lost Warrior]])
* Four pyramids ([[The Return of Starbuck]])
* Three pyramids ([[The Return of Starbuck]])

== Notes ==
* In the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]], the use of this name is reserved for a [[Pyramid (RDM)|basketball/rugby style game]]. A similar card game in the new series is known as [[Triad (RDM)|Triad]].
* While fandom has made rules and cards related to the Pyramid card game, these are non-[[canon]]ical to the Original Series.
* In the episode [[The Man With Nine Lives]], the game is depicted in a Blackjack-like variant. In this variant, a player can ask the dealer to "build me" (hit) or decide to "hover" (stand).
