RATSCREW
The non-dealer begins the game by playing a card into the middle. The next player
does the same. Each player plays one card after another into the middle until a face
card or ace is played.
After a face card or ace has been played into the middle, the opponent must play a
face card or ace after that. However, being that the players can’t look at their hand
of cards, each player is given a certain number of chances to play a face card or ace
depending on the card that is played into the middle.
o For instance, if an ace is played into the middle, the opponent will have four
chances to play a face card or ace into the middle.
• If the opponent does not play a face card or ace after the number of chances given, the
player who played the face card or ace into the middle will get to take the entire pile of
cards that were in the middle and add it to the bottom of their pile of cards
•The player who wins the pile of cards will begin a new pile.
•Another way to win the pile is if a certain combination of cards is played to the middle
and the first person to slap the certain combination will get to take the pile, such as a pair
or a sandwich (a pair with a non-pair card dividing the pair).
