These first cards should be far away from each other, forming two play piles between the players. When both players are ready, one of them says 'spit' and immediately each player takes the top card from his deck and plays it to the center of the table.
There are no turns taken in this game, everyone plays at the same time. The winner is the first player to get rid of all of their cards. (In fact it is best to play on the floor, since cards often go flying once play starts.) Players hold the remainder of their deck in one of their hands during play. There should be lots of empty space in the middle of the table between the two players. LayoutĮach player has their own deck and begins by placing the top four cards from their deck face up in front of them in a row.
