My top 3 card games!

My personal favorite way to deepen current relationships and start new ones at the cost of 2.99!

Speed (2 player)

 

Objective

To be the first person to play all of the cards in your deck

Set up

- Players sit across from one another.

- Deal 20 cards face down to each player.

- Deal the remaining cards face down between the two players in 4 piles (two outside piles with 5 cards, and two inside piles with only 1 card).

Game play

- Pick up the top 5 cards from your deck and arrange them in your hand.

- Simultaneously turn over the two single face-down cards in the center.

- Begin playing the cards in your hand on top of the face-up cards in sequential order. (The number order can go both up and down. Either a King or a 2 may be played on an Ace.)

- Pick up cards from your deck, keeping 5 cards in your hand at all times.

- When neither player has a card that will play on the center piles, simultaneously flip one card over from the outer face-down stacks. (If these stacks run out of cards, turn the face-up piles over to face-down and start again using the top card.)

The Spoons
