Crazy 8’s: A player may play an 8 card after any card. This player then decides on the next suit.

Winning: The player to get rid of all his cards first wins the game.

Scoring: Players can also play each game as a round and keep score. The first player to play all of his cards scores points for the cards left in the other players’ hands. The player with the most points after a predetermined number of rounds, wins the game.

EGYPTIAN RATSCREW

This game has a little bit of everything, but nothing to do with its name.

Ages: 7+

Players: 2+

Object: Win all of the cards.

Set-up:The dealer deals out all cards one at a time, face down in front of each player. Some players may have more cards than others. Players are not allowed to look at their hands.

Play: The first player begins the game by placing his top card face up in the center of the playing area. Players lay cards down one at a time in a central playing surface. When a player lays down a face card, then the next player has a certain number of tries to play another face card. The number of tries that a player has is dependent on the value of the first face card played. An Ace has 4 turns, Kings 3 turns, Queens 2 turns and Jacks 1 turn. If a player does not lay down another face card within the specified number of turns then the player who laid down the first face card collects the pile. If a player is able to lay down a face card then play is resumed. Players play on number cards with no special instructions.

Slapping: Players may slap the pile at various points in the game to collect the cards in the pile.

•Doubles: Players may slap the pile when there are double cards played (i.e.two 6’s).

•Triples: Players may slap the pile when there are triple cards played (three Aces). This happens only when players miss the doubles.

•Four in a Row: Players may slap the pile when there are four cards in a consecutive order i.e. Ace, two, three, four.

Slapping Penalties: If a player slaps something that is not a double, triple, or four in a row, then the player who played the last card collects the pile.

Slapping In: Players who did not begin playing the game at the same time as the rest of the players, may also slap into the game at any point, by slapping the pile at one of the appropriate times. If a player slaps the pile incorrectly before they are in the game, play continues and his mistake is ignored.

Winning: The player who collects all of the cards, wins the game!

GARBAGE

Don’t be fooled by the name! This is a great game with a trashy name. Players only have to recognize numbers to play this game well. This game takes up some space so it is best played on the floor.

Ages: 5+

Players: 2-4

Object: Be the first player to complete all eight rounds of play by placing your cards in the correct sequence each round.

Set-up:The dealer deals eight cards to each player. Players do not look at their cards, but place them face down in front of them in two rows of four. These cards are mentally numbered 1-8 starting with the top left card and ending with the lower right card (see diagram). The remainder of the deck is placed faced down in the center of all players, forming the draw pile.

Play: The first player picks a card up from the draw pile, if it is any card numbered 1-8 (Ace is 1) the player is able to place
