RULES:
The objective of this 2-player card game is to be the first player to get rid of all of your cards. Pick a dealer who shuffles a standard 52 card deck of playing cards and then deals out all the cards to the players, one at a time. Each player takes their cards and deals them out into 5 stock piles with the first stock pike containing 1 card, the 2nd stock pile containing 2 cards, the 3rd three, the 4th four, and the 5th five. Flip over the top card of each stock pile face up. Each player places their remaining cards face down next to them to form their spit cards, which they may not look at. Once both players are ready, they each say “spit” and simultaneously flip the top card of their spit cards, face up to the center of the table between them, forming 2 separate spit piles.
There are no turns, all play happens simultaneously. Using only one hand, and moving only one card at a time, you can play your face up cards from the top of your stock piles onto either spit pile. To do so, the card’s rank must be either 1 higher or 1 lower than the top visible card. Suite and color do not matter. An ace is higher than a king and lower than a 2, so either a king or 2 may be played on an ace. When a stock pile’s top card is face-down, flip that card face up. If you have an empty stock pile, you may move any face up card into that empty space. You can never have more than five stock piles.
Once you completely place a card in a move, you may not undo that play and you must play if possible. If no player can make a play, then both players say “spit” and simultaneously flip 1 card from their spit cards face up onto their originally played spit pile and play continues. Once one player has played all their stock cards, they slap either spit pile with their hand and the round ends. That slapping player collects the cards they slapped, regardless of how few cards there might be, and add them to their spit cards while their opponent adds the other spit pile and their remaining stock piles to their spit cards.
Both players shuffle their cards and deal out another round the same as before. Once one player has fewer than 15 cards, that player will not be able to deal a complete set of stock piles. In this case, that player deals the cards into five stock piles as far as they will go, and turns over the top card of each. However, that player can no longer spit, so there will only be one spit pile, started by the other player. Then, when that single spit pile is slapped, the other player will collect those cards. The first player to completely run out of cards is the winner.

I played this game as a preteen and it had been years since I played and wanted to teach my 10 year old and this video is so well explained! Thank you!

This is so professionally done. You deserve way more views.

we just searched easy card games for 2 people , mom and daughter had a lot of fun playing , thanks !!

This was my favorite game as a kid but I forgot all the rules, so thanks for the refresh. Now I will teach my son!

[@laurieb.5199]

I remember playing this in middle school in the 80's. Glad to see it's still around

[@sebascraft6302]

I'm 15, and used to play it in middle school as well. Must be a great game for bored students

[@dmc6136]

I'm 62 and played it in middle school too. I was so surprised when I googled how to play spit and this popped up. Very well explained. Now I want to play it with someone. I played it so much I was unbeatable. Lol

[@shaun4245]

I played this a lot when I was younger and miss these days ... when we played someone can slap the empty pile at the end; if the other person wasn't quick or paying attention. It goes on or you start the next fight among your siblings 😜

[@besttunes8613]

Haven't played this game in about 30 years and your explanation was perfect. Thanks.

[@Mr.Autodelete]

It’s like Klondike solitaire and speed had an affair

[@jsauce01]

I learned how to play this back in high school, such a great game

[@trinitylopez2990]

same lmaob

[@cloudbounc3]

I’m playing this *in* highschool :D

[@pcstew3]

Don't both players always have the option to slap when one player is out of cards and the quickest one gets the small pile?

[@akadam90]

yeah thats how we played it in the last example shown you would spit the empty pile and the other player would take the other pile instead of spitting the one with cards but the other player takes them.

[@RubensBarrichello.]

Yes. This rule can end relationships however haha. I might try this version with my gf

[@pcstew3]

@@RubensBarrichello. omg I know. I used to play as a kid with my best friend at the time and let me tell the amount of arguments caused by this game.

[@ellioteve4448]

The quickest one usually gets the pile that they slapped, be it bigger is smaller

[@jacknasmith4998]

I slap my opponents in the face

[@soereenhapradel6208]

You did such a great job explaining the game it's exactly how I played it👏🏾‼️

Omg we played this every single day as kids growing up!!! Been over 30 years. This is so nostalgic

[@anvaya4120]

THANKS I WILL PLAY THIS WITH MY FAMILY NOW :D

[@oscak41]

there is a very excellent explanation, you can rewind and watch it again when you don't understand

[@meeghengough3541]

I was looking for a refresh on the rules, i used to play this with my step sister all the time back in the 80s. We played with 2 decks. We put 4 cards face up to play from, replacing after each play from the spit deck.

What happens if someone runs out of spit cards mid-round?

This was really useful!

[@sindhupriya8324]

Explanation was on point!!

Reminds me of great memories

[@thecrazykellyfamily]

Thanks for this good tutorial.

[@scottyoung4814]

we call this game “speed”, but its just set up differently

[@sparte6856]

Same

[@nickm.5931]

That’s not exactly correct. I play both games, & their rules aren’t the same - they’re two separate (but similar) games. Spits a little more complicated, & lasts much longer by comparison.

[@pmoney937]

Man the fights we had playing this game 😅

[@anyu]

So is this like solitaire but with two people?

[@yea754]

great video!

[@angelahalderson9383]

Thanks so much for this!

[@TripleSGames]

You’re welcome

[@ThatIsALakeSir]

random fact you may know: this game is part of the competitive patience of card games, derived from patience card games which klondike is part of

[@faithbarnett1039]

I’ve gotten stuck there’s no more cards for either to turn when we ‘spit’ but we both have cards left and cannot go what do we do

[@UrMom-wo1jc]

Rephrase?

[@LorenaMerseth]

If i draw a J, turn over 8 spot and it is an 8...do I leave the 8 there and move king to another spot, or do I discard it?

[@Sharky_0456]

wow this seems a lot more complicated than speed, maybe i may try it one day tho

[@sellner8253]

What happens if there are two spit piles but one person runs out of spit cards during play?

[@PRG013]

They stop adding to their Spit Pile. The other player adds to his and you continue as normal.

[@LuxisAlukard]

Great video

[@woodox7086]

What do you do when you have less than 15 cards for your stockpile set

[@kaunainkausar]

What if the spit pile is finished of one person during a round

[@kendraharris.333]

I know I came here looking for that answer too

[@kaunainkausar]

@@kendraharris.333 it has been answered below

[@akadam90]

you keep drawing from the other pile

[@Quertex-kn5nf]

What if you dont have a spit pile, and the other player cant play anything and neither can you after they played the wholr spit pile as well

[@ilgiuse7728]

hi, what’s the name of the cards? they’re really cool but i can’t find the name of them

[@samanthahicks7914]

Thanks!

[@artwithspecialitybykalpana7069]

Thanks

[@nikki_joonam]

Can either person slap if one person runs out like can I steal slap the smaller pile

[@nickm.5931]

Yes

[@shaun4245]

Yes and when we played someone can slap the empty pile at the end of the other person wasn't quick or paying attention

[@Lyralye23]

There is a version of the game that allows it and one that doesn't. You can play with the one you prefer. Just make sure the person you play with agrees with the rules used.

[@radabbadaa]

It's a spit-deserving game!! 🎉🎉

[@894reith]

What happens if you run out of spit cards during play with 2 middle piles??? Any help would be great!

[@danwilson5630]

I think only one player would continue spitting?

[@tammieknuth6020]

Naturally without even thinking

[@georgecasper6206]

I thought if both piles had the same number that you could slap with both hands and then both piles go to the opponent. Maybe that was just what they did at my summer camp. (Edit- think I’m thinking of Egyptian rat screw)

[@umwhat6397]

I learned this game a little bit differently

[@biondaangulo3013]

yeah me too

[@shaun4245]

It's probably a different game

[@mallusaih]

what happens if both players are stuck, but only one player has cards left in their spit cards?

[@danwilson5630]

I think only the one player continues spitting?

[@Zirpher]

This game takes forever

[@HellaSmokinGMA]

It's basically Speed but with more steps.

[@aipa1560]

And if 2 players are playing and 1 player doesn't have a spit pile and there is 2 discard piles, the player with a spit pile flips a card and then, flipping cards on that pile only until the game is over. You may play on both discard piles.

Why go to the one spit pile if one person already won?

how to play spit: know how to play speed there you go, you know how to play spit

[@CoolNerdDude22]

Thanks boss

[@Karoline01657]

Which one is the 4 stack game?

[@nickm.5931]

I mean, Speed has 4 decks in the center (2 draw, & 2 discard) if that’s what you’re talking anout

[@coordinator3039]

Ratuki should be next

[@isaiahdenman6747]

This is basically a different version of speed
