[edit] Object
The object of Ratsgroup is to gain all the cards.
[edit] Setup
There has to be at least 2 players for the game. There can be as many as needed, but 3-5 players is the standard way of playing.
[edit] Rules
- Each Player is dealt equal amount of cards facedown. Players cannot look at their cards at any time.
- The first player puts a card face up in the center. The players (in order) put down cards until one player runs out.
- When a face card is played, the next player must put down 1, 2, 3, or 4 cards, depending on which card the previous person played. A jack means 1 card, a Queen means 2, King 3, and Ace 4. If the player playing the cards fails to get a face card, the previous cardholder gains all the cards in the deck.
- Should two cards of the same number or face be on top of each other, players "slap" the cards. The first player to slap the cards gets all the cards in the pile.
- "Sandwiches", when two equal cards are separated by one card, can also be slapped.
- Should a player slap when they shouldn't have, they place two cards under the deck.
[edit] Card Value
- Jacks are considered the card with the most value, when played the next player only has one chance to bring up a face card, giving the first player a larger advantage of taking the pile.
- Queens come next, as they have two chances to play a face card
- Kings come third, they have three chances
- Aces come fourth, they have four chances
- All other cards have the same value
