Speed

A two-player race with no turns. Both players play onto two piles in the middle at once, as long as each card is one higher or one lower than the card it covers. Keep refilling your hand from your own pile. First to run out of cards wins.

Deal each player 20 cards face down. Each player picks up five as their hand and keeps 15 as their draw pile.

Play up or down

As fast as you can, play cards from your hand onto either middle pile if they're one higher or one lower. Aces connect to both kings and 2s.

Get unstuck
