One more day… I can make it…

I’m just not up to writing today. Don’t feel like it. Perhaps tomorrow. School ends tomorrow, for me. I’m oh so very happy for freedom.

So, instead, I’ll just describe the card game I made up. I’m kind of happy with it now. It’s harder to explain using words, but I’ll try. You start out with 3 cards in the middle, with the middle one face-up and the other two face-down. Another card goes a little bit off to the side of those, face-down. The remaining cards are dealt evenly between two persons. This is only a two-player game. (I may try 3 later, ya never know.) The person may only look at the top five cards of their pile at a time, this portion is similar to the game called Speed. When both players agree to go, they flip over the two face-down cards, surrounding the face-up card, at the same time. Play commences. When a player is done with all his or her cards, he must take the card that was sitting off a little to the side and play it. When that last card is played, that player wins. If the other person plays all his or her cards before the person with the card from the side plays his card, then the person with no cards wins.

Here’s how play commences: on any of the three piles, you can play the same suit. You can play the same rank of a card on one pile on top of another pile. You cannot put down two of the same card on the same pile. On the middle pile, and only the middle pile, you can go ascending or descending by one rank.

I still don’t have a name for the game. So, if anyone’s got any suggestions, feel free to make them.

Well, if you’re still confoosled, you can add a comment here and I’ll see what I can add. I’m thinking of adding pics to augment the explanation.
