INSTRUCTIONS

turns over the four cards in the center. Anyone can make a grab for the center cards. Players can pick up as many cards as they want, but they must put down as many cards as they have picked up. Once everyone is finished, the dealer clears the table of the remaining 4 cards, and deals out four more. Once again everyone scrambles for the cards that they want, and discards the cards that they don’t want. Play continues in this manner until someone calls ‘Kemps”

Calling Kemps: A player calls ‘Kemps’ and points to the player whom he thinks has 4 of a kind. Players must watch each other for signaling. When a player thinks that another player is signaling he calls “Kemps!” A player can call ‘Kemps’ for this team member, and win the hand, or a player can call ‘Kemps” on an opposing player. If a player calls ‘Kemps” on a player from the other team, and that player does have 4 of a kind, then that player must discard their hand and start over. There is no penalty for calling ‘Kemps’ on another player and when they don’t have 4 of a kind.

Winning: When a player has 4 of a kind, and his teammate calls “Kemps” for him, then that team wins the hand.

KING THE CORNER

King the Corner is a great game for older players who want a more than luck in their card play.

Ages: 6+

Players: 2-6

Object: To win the hand by being the first to play all of your cards.

Set-up:The dealer deals 7 cards to each player then places four cards face up in the center to form a cross. The rest of the deck is placed face down in the center of the cross as the draw pile.

Play: Play begins with the player to the left of the dealer. Cards are played by placing cards of alternate color down (red, black, red, black) in a descending order (King, Queen, Jack, etc.) (See Diagram) Any kings are placed in the space in between the original 4 cards (in the corners). Players may move all cards from one space and place the stack on another card(s) as long as it continues the sequence of cards. When a space is open, a player may insert any card that she wishes. Cards may not be moved from the king spaces.

Players begin their turn by placing any cards down from their hand or moving any of the cards that are already in play. A player may make as many plays as possible, and may lay as many cards down as she wishes per turn. When a player is finished making plays, she draws one card to end her turn. If a player forgets to draw a card, she is penalized with a second card. If a king is drawn this card is played immediately, and no other card is drawn.

Play in the corners always starts with a king card.

Winning: The player who plays all of her cards first, wins the game!

OLD MAID

This wonderful classic is easily played with a regular deck of cards. The big size of our cards makes the game even more enjoyable.

Ages: 4+

Players: 2-6

Object: The player with the most pairs.

Set-up:The dealer pulls out three of the queen cards, leaving just one queen in the deck. This queen card is the old maid. The dealer then deals out all the cards to each player. Some players may have more cards than others.

Play: Each player looks at their hand and lays down any pairs that they have face down in front of them. If a player has three cards of one value, he may only lay down two of the cards. The third is left in the player’s hand to be matched later in the game.

The player to the left of the dealer then takes a card from the dealer’s hand. If a match is made the player lays the match down in front of him. He then offers his hand to the next player, who takes a card from his hand. Play continues until one player is left with the Old Maid card, who does not have a match.

Winning: The player with the most matches at the end of the game wins!
