yes. it doesn't matter if they are trying to get a face card... if its a king, then they lay down two 6's in a row, then you still try to slap it.

its also called Egyption Ratrace, Ratscrew, and something else, i can't remember. Did I clairify anything at all?

Yeah, you did, thanks ^_^.

I can't wait to play that game at lunch time in the school year. Last year, all we played was Big 2 (got boring after a while), Up-and-down slap and Crazy Eights. Not speed because it was only a two-player game.

Anyone know what the difference between spit and speed is? I suppose it's just the opening layout.

Mao definitely. It's a ton of fun once you play a few rounds.

Boom-O! Like Uno only tangible! It's hilarious!

sorry, i can't help ya there... I've never heard of spit 0.o

anyways. have you ever played spoons? that is another great one to play with a group, as long as the group isn't that big- do you know how to play? We spent the last day of school sitting around a table playing it, but we used sharpies instead of spoons. it was great fun.


(it's almost addicting.)

O_O. No, I've never even heard of it.

Hehe, never even is a palindrome!!

</random>

do u want me to explain that?


lol

I will just becasue I feel like it.


SPOONS!
No. of players:
4-8 or 9. If you want more than that you need 2 decks of cards.

Supplies:
a deck of cards
if you play with 6 people, you need 5 spoons. (or markers or whatever you want to use.) So you have one less item then the number of people playing.

The Game:
Everyone sits in a circle. The spoons are layed out on the surface in the middle of the group, so that everyone is within arms difference of the spoons. The dealer gives each person in the circle 4 cards, and keeps the rest of the deck next to them.
What you want to do is get four of the same kind in your hand. The dealer starts the game by picking up a card from the deck, adding it to their hand, then picking one of the cards from thier hand to pass on to the next person. The next person picks up the card the dealer took out and sees if it is one that would help them get 4 of the same card. It moves around the circle, with a person grabing the card from the person on their left, and discarding one to their right.
When someone gets 4 of the same card, they grab one of the spoons. Once the players see that he/she had grabbed a spoon, the others fight for the other spoons. The person who doesn't get a spoon loses. You can play elimination, so when you lose your out, or just keep playing with all the people in.



WARNING: it is a very loud game. Whether you are fighting for spoons or slapping the table and yelling at the person to your left to hury up and give you another card.

If I left anything out I'm sorry.

Ah, I see, so it's like pig .

I've played pig, but I'm so bad at it. It's really busy though.

its probably as fun to watch as it is to play!

Eeee! I know that game!

The one where it's a 'snap' if it's something like 4 9 4?

Canasta.

It's the only thing I'm good at. I prefer not to play it with my mum or gram, though, as they beat me every time.

Spit =D

Pig drives me nuts. I hate pig.

I love playing cards. I know how to play a lot of card games, although I'm not very good at them all. My favorites are Gin Rummy, Speed, Hearts, B.S. and Spoons. I know how to play Bid Whist, Pinochle, Spades, Canasta, and some more, but I rarely do. As for Solitaire, I like Klondike and FreeCell.

On a side note, you can find rules to a ton of card games at http://www.pagat.cam

I love spoons, and what is apparently called pig XD

I'm also a fan of apples to apples. there are red cards and green cards [apples]. all the green cards are adjectives. the red cards are nouns, ie china, mona lisa, the midwest, my gym socks, or choirboys. everyone has seven red cards. a green card is turned over, and everyone has to pick a noun from their hand that they think best suits that adjective. then there's a judge who doesn't play, and they decide which red card fits best, and the person that played that red card gets to keep the green card, and becomes the judge for the next round. all the played red ones are discarded, and everyone draws more so they always have seven, until someone gets seven green cards.

it's fun because you have to know the judge. some people will be boring and will actually pick the best one, but others will choose the most random, or the most...uhh...suggestive.

much fun. woo!
