What is Beth-is-a-whore?
1.
a multi-player card game where there are 9 cards in a square face up. The dealer holds the cards and chooses another player. This player must guess whether a card is higher or lower than any of the 9 face up on the pile. To be able to pass on to another player, you must guess 3 correct. You may choose to keep playing or pass to another player in which case you become the dealer. If you guess wrong you must drink the number of cards in the that pile (if there is an 8 and you guess 'higher' and the card played is an 8, that's a loss).
When all the cards are dealt out the current dealer chooses a row of 3 piles (in either direction)to "clear." Shuffle and these are now the dealer's cards. Continue until dealer's cards are finished and clear another row leaving only 3 piles to choose from on the table.
*When playing with Hardcore rules, after dealer's cards are done, take away one pile until there is only 1 pile to finish the game with, loser will end up drinking 52 seconds if the last card is guessed incorrectly.
Jean Louis always wants to play Beth-Is-A-Whore when (and after) we are at Charlie Browns drinking $2 pints (or $1.50 margaritas).
