Official rules for the card game spit

In either situation, both players slap one of the spit piles with their hand, trying to slap the smaller pile. If the players slap different piles, each takes the pile they slapped.

If they slap the same pile, the player who got there first whose hand is on the bottom gets that pile; the other player gets the other pile. Both players then add any spit cards and stock cards remaining on their side to the spit pile that they took and shuffle their cards. The cards are then used to create a new layout as described in "Setup" above. At this point, however, the players could have unequal numbers of spit cards in their hands. When both players are ready, they say "spit" simultaneously and play continues as described in "Gameplay" above.

When this happens, that player deals the cards into five stockpiles as far as they will go, turning the top card on each pile face up. Since the player can't spit, there will only be one spit pile. When only one spit pile is being used, the first player to get rid of his or her stock cards doesn't take anything from the center. His or her opponent takes the spit pile and the unplayed stockpile cards.

If the player with no spit cards in his or her hand also is the one who gets rid of his or her stockpiles first, that person wins the game. If the opponent gets rid of his or her stockpiles first, the game continues. Play a series of rounds, with each player scoring one point for each card that player has remaining at the end of each round.

When at least one player scores or more points, the game ends. The player who has the smallest score is the overall winner. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

The game ends when a player plays the last card from their pay-off pile to the center stack- they are the winner.

The game can also end if the stock pile is exhausted, in this case it is a draw, there is no winner. Stacks The first card, the card that starts the center stacks, must be an ace. Taking Turns After the first player takes their turn, players alternate turns for the rest of the hand. A turn consists of these possibilities: Play an ace to start a center stack or add to a center stack. Cards you play may come from your hand, the top card of your pay-off pile, or a top card from a side stack.

Cards are played face-up. Play a card to your side stacks. This move ends your turn and play passes to the opponent. Players cannot exceed four side stacks. Now the players add the cards in their pile to their decks and create 5 new stacks, the same way as in the beginning. The important part is that the discard piles are not shuffled.

Now, the cards in the discard piles are already ordered, so the new stacks will have pretty well ordered cards which makes the game even more intense and lets you get rid of your cards even faster! This continues until at some point a player gets a discard pile that is so small that he can't make 5 full stacks, and won't have any deck.

He then creates as much of the stacks as he can, but since he has no deck there will now only be one discard pile on the table. The game continues as usual, except with only one discard pile, and if the player who didn't have any deck gets rid of all his cards first then he has won the whole game. This online version of Spit was made by me. My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture. I decided to make this game after it was suggested by a gentleman named Don.

At first I didn't know what game it was, but when I looked at it online I realized that it was a game that I knew very well under the icelandic name "Kleppari". In fact I used to play it when I was a kid with my sister Alda, who always used to beat me at it! She was so good at it that I usually didn't want to play it with her, because I always lost! So, this game is dedicated to her, and that's why there's a new player called Alda, which is the hardest one to beat in the game :.
