The 52 Qard Game Series · Reserve bench
Egyptian Ratscrew
Flip, slap, challenge. The whole deck in one hand wins.
How to deal
Deal the whole deck out face down. Players do not look at their cards.
How to play
In turn each player flips their top card onto the pile. A face card or an Ace is a challenge: the next player has a fixed number of flips to answer with another face card or Ace, four for an Ace down to one for a Jack, or the challenger takes the pile. Anyone may slap the pile on a pair, a sandwich, or any other slap rule the table agrees; the first hand on the pile takes it. Slapping wrongly costs a card.
How you win
The player who ends up with the whole deck wins. A player who runs out of cards stays in while they can still win a slap.
