Shuffle the deck(s) of cards.
Hand out an equal number of cards to each player. Divide 52 by the number of players to find out how many cards each person gets. Here is a quick chart for reference for up to 10 players; 2 players: 26 each 3 players: 17 each, 1 extra 4 players: 13 each 5 players: 10 each, 2 extra 6 players: 8 each, 4 extra 7 players: 7 each, 3 extra 8 players: 6 each, 4 extra 9 players: 5 each, 7 extra 10 players: 5 each, 2 extra
Randomly eliminate any extra cards.
Decide if the game will go clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Have everyone lay their cards in a pile face-down in front of them; no card is more valuable than another.
Allow the first person to place their card face-up in the center of the group.
Allow everyone to continue placing down their cards until the previous and current card placed match.
Slap the center pile when two consecutive cards match (pair)[example:4-4], when a Queen and King are placed down consecutively(marriage)[example: Q-K or K-Q], when a Queen and Jack are placed down consecutively (affair)[example: J-Q or Q-J]or when two of the same number are separated by one card (sandwich)[example: 8-4-8 or K-J-K or any of the like]. The first person to slap it will have their hand on the bottom. They get to add all the cards in the center pile to the bottom of their pile.
When someone lays down a face card, the person that goes after them has to put down the right amount of cards, and if one of them is another face card, the game continues on regularly, but if a face card is not laid down in the right number of cards, the person who laid the original face card gets to pick up the entire pile. FACE CARDS: Ace: next person has four chances to lay down another face card. King: next person has three chances to lay down another face card Queen: next person has two chances to lay down another face card. Jack: next person has one chance to lay down another face card.
Let players that were eliminated because they didn't have any cards come back in if they can be the first ones to slap.
Announce the winner when one person has won all the cards into their pile. EXPERT TIP Ashton Wu Ashton Wu Board Game Expert Ashton Wu is a Board Game expert at Shelfside.
