play the face up card from the top of one of your stock piles onto either spit pile.Using only one hand, and moving only one card at a time, you can either: The object is to get rid of all the cards in your stock piles onto the spit piles. The players now play simultaneously as fast as they want.
#Spit vs spat full
The full layout should now look something like this:
These two cards and the cards that will be played on top of them are the spit piles. These two cards are placed side by side between the players' stock piles. That leaves a pile of 11 cards in each player's hand, where they must stay! These are the spit cards, and the players should not look at them.Īfter both players acknowledge readiness, both shout "spit" while turning over the top card in their hand (their first spit card). Deal these piles face down and then turn the top card of each stock pile face up (or deal them that way in the first place). The first stock pile has 1 card, the second 2. Shuffle well and divide the cards equally - 26 to each player.Įach player now deals a layout consisting of five stock piles in a row. (the older the better, because the cards get abused!!). Two players only, using a regular 52 card deck. The name Spit or Speed is also sometimes used for the game which on this website is called California Speed, in which the players race to get rid of their cards by covering pairs of equal cards in a layout. In Speed, described at the end of the page, each player has a single face down stock pile and a hand of five cards. In Spit, which will be described first, each player has a row of stock piles, usually five, each with the top card face up.
The difference between Spit and Speed is in the arrangement of the stock piles. By being successful for several deals you can eventually get rid of all your cards, thereby winning the game. On each deal, by being first to play all your stock pile cards you can reduce the number of cards you have in the next deal. The players do not take turns - physical speed and alertness are required to play faster than your opponent. Spit and Speed are games for two players in which the aim is to get rid of your cards as fast possible.
