Egyptian Ratscrew

How to Play

1. 1Deal the entire deck face down evenly among all players. Don't look at your cards.
2. 2Players take turns flipping their top card face up into a central pile.
3. 3If two cards in a row match in rank, or a card sandwiches a matching pair (like 5-9-5), players race to slap the pile.
4. 4The first player to slap the pile correctly wins all the cards in it and adds them to the bottom of their deck.
5. 5Face cards and Aces trigger a challenge: if one is played, the next player has a set number of chances to play a face card or Ace themselves, or the first player wins the pile.
6. 6Players who run out of cards are eliminated. Last player with cards wins.
