Looking for a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping card game? Speed is the perfect challenge for two players who love quick reflexes and intense competition! 💨💥
Number of Players:
2
Cards Used:
A standard 52-card deck (Jokers removed)
Objective:
Be the first to get rid of all your cards by quickly playing them onto the central piles in sequence.
Setup:
Divide the Deck:
Separate the deck into red suits (hearts and diamonds) and black suits (spades and clubs). One player takes all red cards, and the other takes all black cards.Shuffle and Draw:
Each player shuffles their stack thoroughly. Then, each player draws four cards from their stack and places them face-up in front of them; these are the "side piles."Starting Pile:
Each player draws one additional card from their stack and places it face-up in the center simultaneously. These two cards form the initial "center piles."
Gameplay:
Playing Cards:
Players simultaneously and as quickly as possible place cards from their side piles onto the center piles. A card can be played if it is one rank higher or lower than the top card of either center pile, regardless of suit.- For example, if a center pile has a 5, you can play a 4 or a 6.
- Kings (K) and Aces (A) are considered consecutive, so a King can be followed by an Ace and vice versa.
Refilling Side Piles:
Whenever a player plays a card from their side piles, they immediately draw the top card from their stack to replenish their side piles back to four cards.Stalemate Situation:
If both players are unable to play any cards, they simultaneously draw one card from their respective stacks and place it face-up on the center piles. This action resets the center piles and allows play to continue.- If a player's stack is exhausted, they can choose one card from their side piles to place onto the center pile.
Winning the Game:
The first player to play all their cards, including both their stack and side piles, wins the game.
Please note that variations of "Speed" exist, and house rules may differ.
