Game Description:
This card game for kids can be a lot of fun but also very frustrating: just when you are about to win, you can find yourself right back at square one!
Age Range:
Objective:
The winner is the player who runs out of cards first.
The Pack:
A standard deck of 52 playing cards.
If six players: One standard deck with the two's removed
If five players: Two's -> fours removed
If four players: Two -> sixes removed.
The Deal:
The players cut the deck and the highest card deals all the cards around the group clockwise, until each player has eight cards.
The Play:
Aces are high.
The players sort their cards by suit and then the player to the left of the dealer plays one card face up.
The next player then has to play a card which is of the same suit.
Play continues until a player cannot place a card, at which point they have to pick up all the face up cards and add them to their hand. They then start the next round with one of their cards of a different suit.
The winner is the player who runs out of cards first.
