Spit (card Game)
Spit, also known as Slam or Speed, is a card game of the shedding family for two players. The game is played until all of a player's cards are gone. Objective The goal of Spit is to get rid of one's cards as quickly as possible. The players do not take turns; physical speed and alertness is required to play faster than the opponent. On each deal, the player who is first to go through all of their starting cards can reduce the number of cards for the next deal. By being successful for several deals, clearing all of one's cards becomes possible, and if this is carried out successfully, one wins the game. Setup Spit is played by two players. The entire deck is split between them, and each player makes five stacks in front of themselves in a row, similar to Klondike, as follows: *Stack 1: (0 cards face down), 1 card face up *Stack 2: 1 card face down, 1 card face up *Stack 3: 2 cards face down, 1 card face up *Stack 4: 3 cards face down, 1 card face up *Stack 5: 4 cards face dow ...

Standard 52-card Deck
The standard 52-card deck of French-suited playing cards is the most common pack of playing cards used today. In English-speaking countries it is the only traditional pack used for playing cards; in many countries of the world, however, it is used alongside other traditional, often older, standard packs with different suit systems such as those with German-, Italian-, Spanish- or Swiss suits. The most common pattern of French-suited cards worldwide and the only one commonly available in Britain and the United States is the English pattern pack. The second most common is the Belgian-Genoese pattern, designed in France, but whose use spread to Spain, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, the Balkans and much of North Africa and the Middle East.''Pattern Sheet 80''

Stress (card Game)
Stress is a card game that uses a standard 52-card deck. It is usually only played with two people, although it is possible to play with more. The game requires each player to have a deck of numbered cards from 0 to 9. A player wins when they have lost all of their cards. It is similar to the game of Spit. Game rules Setup The deck is split into two equal piles, each player receiving one pile. Each player deals out a row of four cards in front of them, drawn from their pile. If any cards in this row share a rank, another card is dealt on top of them until no cards share ranks. Each player then deals one card from their pile into the middle of the table, face up, to start two stacks. One stack belongs to each player. Play Playing simultaneously and without taking turns, players may take any card from their row and place it on one of the two central stacks. The placed card must be exactly one rank higher or lower than the top card of the stack, with aces both high and low. If ...

Speed (card Game)
Speed is a game for two players or more of the shedding family of card games, in which players try to get rid of all of their cards first. How to deal Each player is dealt five cards to form a hand and 15 cards face down to the side as a draw pile. Play With two players, the round begins when the players flip one of the face-down cards in the centre simultaneously. Players must then discard their hand cards one by one, using only one hand, matching cards so that each card played is either one number above, one number below, or the same number as the two cards on top of the center stacks. This must be done without hesitating to shuffle cards or otherwise delay the game. Only one card can be placed at a time. The ace and king can be placed on top of one another, forming a looping sequence. Whenever the number of cards in a player's hand drops below five, the player has to take more cards from the draw pile to bring it back up to five cards until the draw pile is depleted. W ...

Card Game
A card game is any game using playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, be they traditional or game-specific. Countless card games exist, including families of related games (such as poker). A small number of card games played with traditional decks have formally standardized rules with international tournaments being held, but most are folk games whose rules vary by region, culture, and person. Traditional card games are played with a ''deck'' or ''pack'' of playing cards which are identical in size and shape. Each card has two sides, the ''face'' and the ''back''. Normally the backs of the cards are indistinguishable. The faces of the cards may all be unique, or there can be duplicates. The composition of a deck is known to each player. In some cases several decks are shuffled together to form a single ''pack'' or ''shoe''. Modern card games usually have bespoke decks, often with a vast amount of cards, and can include number or action cards. This ...

Klondike (solitaire)
Klondike, also known as Canfield, is a card game for one player and the best known and most popular version of the patience or solitaire family, something which "defies explanation" as it has one of the lowest rates of success of any such game.Parlett (1979), pp. 94–95. Partly because of that, it has spawned numerous variants including Batsford, Easthaven, King Albert, Thumb and Pouch, Somerset or Usk and Whitehead, as well as the American variants of the games, Agnes and Westcliff. The distinguishing feature of all variants is a triangular layout of the tableau, building in ascending sequence and packing in descending order.Coops (1939), p. 10. Name In the U.S. and Canada, it is so well known that the term Solitaire, in the absence of qualifiers, typically refers to Klondike. Equally in the UK, it is often just known as "Patience". Elsewhere the game is known as American Patience. Historically Klondike was also called Canfield in America, perhaps because it was a casino gam ...

Canfield (solitaire)
Canfield (US) or Demon (UK) is a patience or solitaire card game with a very low probability of winning. It is an English game first called Demon Patience and described as "the best game for one pack that has yet been invented". It was popularised in the United States in the early 20th century as a result of a story that casino owner Richard A. Canfield had turned it into a gambling game, although it may actually have been Klondike and not Demon that was played at his casino. As a result it became known as Canfield in the United States, while continuing to be called Demon Patience in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. It is closely related to Klondike, and is one of the most popular games of its type. History The game is first recorded in 1891 in England by Mary Whitmore Jones as Demon Patience. She describes it as "by far the best game for one pack that has yet been invented," and goes on to say that its "very uncomplimentary name" seems to derive from its ability to frustr ...

Nertz
Nerts (US), or Racing Demon (UK) is a fast-paced multiplayer card game involving multiple decks of playing cards. It is often described as a competitive form of Patience or Solitaire. In the game, players or teams race to get rid of the cards in their "Nerts pile" by playing them in sequences from aces upwards, either into their personal area or in a communal central area. Each player or team uses their own deck of playing cards throughout the game. The number of players or teams that can play in a game is limited only by the number of decks and the amount of space available. Names The game was invented in England in the 1890s as Racing Demon and is still called by that name in the UK. In the US, it was also called Pounce in the 1930s and, more recently, Nerts, but the name Racing Demon was still current in the 1960s. David Parlett says that today it is also known as Pounce internationally and Nerts in the US. The game also goes under other names including: Peanuts
