The Pack

Two players use one standard deck of 52 cards, and 3-5 players use two decks

Rank of Cards

A-K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3 The 2 is a special card that resets the deck.

The object of the Game

Play your cards in a discard pile using ascending order, and the first player to run out of cards wins.

The Deal

Deal three cards face down to each player. Players are not allowed to look at these cards and must place them face down in three rows before each player.

Deal six cards to each player face down. Players may look at these cards in their hands.

Players select three cards from their hands and place them face-up on the three face-down cards in front of them. Typically, higher-value cards are placed face up.

Place the remaining cards face down in the center of the table to form the Draw pile.

The Play

The first player turns over the top card of the Draw pile to form the Discard pile.

This turned-over card is called the Start card.

The first player plays a card equal to or of higher value than the Start card by placing that card on top of the Start card. You can play multiple cards in your turn as long as they're all equal to or higher and of the same rank.

Once you have finished your turn, draw cards from the Draw pile to always maintain three cards in your hand.

You must play a card if you can. If you can't play, you must pick up the discard pile and add it to your hand.

On their turn, a player can play any 2 card, which resets the discard pile to 2, starting the sequence.

On their turn, a player can play the ten on any card, but it takes the discard pile out of the game instead of resetting it. The player who puts the ten down draws up to three cards and plays any card.

It clears the discard pile if four of the exact numbers are played in a row, either by one player or multiple players. Place it to the side, as these cards are out of the game.

The next player can play any card from their hand.

Play continues around the table until the Draw pile is depleted.

Once the Draw pile is depleted, players rely solely on the cards in their hands. Keep playing until there are no cards left in your hand. If you can't play on your turn, you still have to pick up the discard pile and put it in your hand.

Once you pick up the discard pile, you must play all of those cards before playing from your cards on the table.

When it's your turn, and you don't have a hand, play one card from your face-up cards in front of you.

Pick a face-down card on the table when it's your turn, and you've played all your face-up cards. Don't look at it to choose. Simply flip it over. You can play it if it plays on the current card by being equal or higher. If you still need to, you must pick up the discard pile.

If you pick up the discard pile, you must play those before continuing to play your face-down cards.

How to Keep Score

Play all your face-up and face-down cards to win the game. The first person to do so wins, and the game ends.

The Rank

Two decks of cards, A (high or low), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.

Layout

Each player has their deck and begins by placing the top four cards from their deck face up in front of them in a row. There should be lots of space between the two players in the middle of the table. (It is best to play on the floor since cards often fly once play starts.) Players hold the remainder of their deck in one of their hands during play.

The object of the Game

The winner is the first player to get rid of their cards.

The Play

There are no turns taken in this game, and everyone plays at the same time. When both players are ready, one says "Spit," immediately. Each player takes the top card from his deck and plays it to the center of the table. These first cards should be far apart, forming two play piles between the players. Players immediately begin playing their cards from their layout onto the center piles. A card can be played only if it is one higher or one lower than the card on the top of the deck. The card's suit does not matter; an ace can be played high or low.

Example: One could play the nine from the layout on the ten pile since it is one lower in sequence.

A player may only use one hand to move a card and may only play one card at a time. Many times, both players can play a card on the same pile. In that case, the player who gets there first gets the play, and the other must take back their card. This race to play out the cards can get very exciting!

A new card from the top of the deck may immediately replace cards played from the layout row.

Players must be at most four cards in their layout rows.

The players continue to rapidly play cards to the center and replace cards in their rows until all players get "stuck" and cannot make a play. Often, several dozen cards can be played before all players get stuck. When all players are attached, they say "ready, spit," and again deal new starter cards to the top of each pile in the center. Play then continues as before.

How to Keep Score

When a player has played all the cards in their deck, they must continue playing using only the cards left in their layout (even though he will not have a card to "spit" with if all players get stuck). They win when that player "goes out" by playing the last card from their layout row. If both players have run out of their decks and get stuck before going out, the player with the fewest cards left wins.
