Does anyone out there Remeber the game Spit?

Question

It had to do with a deal something like solitare, and you sometimes played with your hand behind your back, and the object of the game was to play suits and slap the pile you want (usually the one with the least cards) and then the other person has to play out all their card and they get the deck with the cards that weren't slapped, and then you start over dealing and whoever ends up with no cards wins........ Anyone?

Answer 1

The way you "stack" them is by playing a card -/+ the top card. I.E. The King is on top. Only the Ace or The Queen can be placed next.

Part two: They have to be opposing color so if it is a black king, you need a red ace or red queen.

part three: when all cards are slapped, you each snatch a pile.

repeat.

BTW, you each start with half the deck and 2 "graveyards"

You line up the cards in 5 columns. First face up then 4 face down. Place the second card on second column face up, the rest face down, and so forth until you fill the 5 columns. You place the rest of the cards in two piles. You yell "SPIT!" and flip the top card. you then proceed as instructed above. If you get stuck, you "spit again" until all your cards (in front of you not the pile) are gone. You should then grab the smallest face up/graveyard pile. The person who gets rid of all his/her cards first only gets the graveyard chosen. The runner up gets both draw piles and the graveyard. You get rid of all your cards before your opponent and you win. (Hence also why it is called speed)
