A high-stakes game of Pyramid (The Lost Warrior).

In the Original Series, Pyramid is a high-risk chancery game played with hexagonal cards; a Colonial version of poker. Starbuck is about to win a large pot when an alert interrupts the game (Saga of a Star World). Starbuck and Boomer play Pyramid with Boxey in the barracks (with jellybeans as the stakes instead of cubits) to help keep him occupied when Apollo fails to report back from a patrol. Boxey wins a large pot by having a "full pyramid" (The Lost Warrior).

Note[edit]

In the Re-imagined Series, the use of this name is reserved for a basketball/rugby style game. A similar card game in the new series is known as Full Colors.

While fandom has made rules and cards related to the pyramid card game, these are non-canonical to the Original Series.
