Spit? Do you know the rules to this card game?

Question

It may be called something else but I know it starts with an S and needs 2 players. It is a fast paced card game.

Answer 1

Two players only, using a regular deck of 52 playing cards. Older decks are ideal because the cards may become damaged in play. Shuffle well and divide the cards equally - 26 to each player.

Each player now deals a hand consisting of five piles in a row, containing 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 cards, respectively. The top card of each pile is turned face-up, while all others are face down. That leaves a pile of 11 cards for each player. These cards form the stockpile, and the players should not look at them

After both players acknowledge readiness, both shout "Spit!" while turning over the top card in their respective stockpiles. These two cards are placed side by side between the players' hands. These two cards and the cards that will be played on top of them are the spit piles.

The players now play simultaneously as fast as they want. The object is to get rid of all the cards in your hand piles onto the spit piles. Using only one hand, and moving only one card at a time, you can:

play the face up card from the top of one of your piles onto either spit pile. To play a card on a spit pile it has to be next in sequence up or down. Suit and color do not matter. Cards can turn the corner, i.e. on an ace you can play a two or a king (Optional slight variation: you may also play a card of equal value onto a spit pile, so an ace could then also be played on top of another ace).
if one (or more) of your piles has its top card face-down, turn the top card of such a pile face-up
move a face up card from the top of a pile into an empty pile space if there is one - note that you can never have more than five piles.
if 2 face-up cards in different piles are identical in number (e.g. Ace of spades and Ace of hearts) you can remove 1 card and stack it on top of the other and still have 5 piles.
A card counts as played as soon as it touches the spit pile or space onto which it is to be placed. A played card cannot be retracted and as soon as it is played the opponent is entitled to play on it.

If a position is reached where neither player can play (i.e. none of the exposed pile cards can be played to either of the spit piles and it is not possible to turn up another card from a pile after moving cards into spaces if necessary) then both players shout "Spit!" again, and each places the top card from their respective stockpile on top of the spit pile they started. Play then continues as before.

If neither player can play and one player has no stockpile left, then the other player spits alone on only one spit pile. The player can choose either spit pile, but having chosen, must continue to spit on that spit pile whenever no play is possible until one player runs out of stock cards. In the event that both players run out of stockpile, the player with the fewer cards remaining in hand has choice of spit pile.

When playing with only one spit pile, the first player to get rid of their hand does not take any cards from the centre; the other player takes the single spit pile and his own remaining hand. When playing with only one spit pile, if the player with no spit cards in hand also gets rid of their hand first, then that player has no cards left at all and has won the game.

Answer 2

Wow, it has been a long time since I played this, but I'll try. The way I remember is you play with two decks. After shuffling the decks are placed face down and each player draws five cards. Then the top card of each deck is flipped over. Both players play cards on the exposed card "crazy eights style": same suit on same suit, numbers in sequence, etc. When a player runs out of cards, they draw more. The players must finish their respective decks as quickly as possible before the other player does.

I think its also called speed
