How many card games to you know?

If it is a Jack, Queen, King, or Ace, then the next person has one, two, three, or four chances, respectively, to flip over another Jack, Queen, King, or Ace. If he/she flips over a royal card, then the person after him/her has one, two, three, or four chances, depending on what the previous player threw, to flip over a royal. When someone doesn't flip over a royal, the person that threw the last royal gets all the cards. Any other card just causes play to go to the next person. The main excitement comes when two of the same cards are thrown one right after another, like two 7's or two Jacks. When that happens, whoever grabbs the cards first gets them. Its a good idea to play this with an old deck of cards since they could possible get ripped or folded when people are trying to grab at them after identical cards are played, especially when they are identical royal cards. Also, another good idea is not to play this with anyone that has long fingernails, a cast, class rings turned around, or anything else that might be painfull when you reach for identical cards. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Hope this give some idea of how the game works.

I forgot to mention Spoons in my first post.
