Minus one: You may slap on the face up pile if the top card played is one card value lower than the previous card. Sandwich: You may slap on the face up pile if the top card played is the same as the card below the one that was previously set.

So in a sandwich, say you lay down a 10 on a 5. If another 10 was below that 5, it is a legal slap If a player makes an illegal slap, they must place the top 2 cards off their stock on the bottom of the waste face up. Remember, the goal is to get all the cards. The differences are as follows: When placing cards face up on top of your three face down cards at the start of the game, if you have two or more cards of the same rank, you can put them face up on top of the same card.

You still place face up cards on each of your three face down cards, so if you have placed two or more equal cards on top of the same card, you will have fewer than three cards in your hand. You now replenish your hand to three cards by drawing from the stock.

If you draw further cards equal in rank to your face up cards, you can put these face up too if you wish, on top of the matching cards, and replenish again to three cards; this process can be repeated as long as you continue putting out matching cards. At the end of the process you should have three cards in your hand.

In the endgame, sets of equal face up cards in the same pile are played together as a group. You place the ace one of your face down cards, the two kings on another and the two jacks on the third.

You now just have one card in hand the nine and must draw two cards from the stock - say a jack and a six. You put the jack on your jacks and draw again, getting another jack. You put this on your jacks too and draw again, getting a six. At this point you must stop. Your hand is 9, 6, 6.

Your four jacks will be useful for clearing the table in the endgame. When a player picks up instead of beating the previous play, the next play is made by the previous player - i.

William J Putt describes a version locally known as Smeghead with the following differences: They use several decks of cards shuffled together. At the start each player has four cards face down, four face up and a hand of four rather than three, three and three.

The first person to play a 10 or complete a four of a kind, clearing away the pile, is known as the "flush" person, and has to clear away the pile each time this happens in future. As players run out of cards they continue playing until only one player has cards left. This player is known as the "smeg head". Jane Guarducci has contributed the following variation s : A seven can be played on anything and is "glass", meaning that the next player must play a card which could legally have been played on the card before the seven.

For example, if a 7 is played on an Ace, the next player must beat an Ace. If a 7 is played to the empty table nothing under it it has the value of 7. When an eight is played the next card must be lower than 8, or another 8, or a joker.

A ten can be played on anything except an eight and causes the pile to be cleared as usual. The player of the 10 plays again to the empty table. A joker can be played on anything and next player misses a turn. If there are just two players in the game this means that the player of the joker immediately plays another card of any value. In games of more than two players the joker is treated in one of three ways: as glass like a 7 or with a value of 7, or with a value of 2.

To avoid arguments decide before starting which of these variations is being played. At your turn you can play an ascending sequence of consecutive cards in a single suit, provided that the first card beats the previous play. Leave table.
