S**thead the card game Page 2

I'm quite partial to Uno.

I like playing Uno and Lucky 8s. I was meant to learn Baccarat this summer.

I've been trying to remember a card game I played with my best friend all one wet summer when I was 10, that involved each player having a sort of solitaire layout infront of them and slamming cards down in a middle pile...

It's where the whole deck is split between the players.

You can't see the cards.

The first person starts and says "Ace" and lays the first card.
Second person says "2" and lays the second card and so forth.

If the card matches the number spoken then everyone says snap and puts their hands on top of the cards. First hand down wins the cards.

The nunber 10 is said twice to make it harder. i.e. 8,9,10,10,Jack,Queen...

...Christ.

I'll just count the dimples in the wall.

I think this is Slam?

Sorry Paul I have absolutely no recollection, it was years ago. I think my mate lived somewhere called Sherwood Rise. But it was a good pub.

Sherwood Rise, Nice.

And that pub must have shut down since then...

That would be it! But I can't remember how it's played.
