All you need to play Spit are two decks of standard playing cards and your preferred method of keeping score. No additional resources or expensive decks or boards are at all required to get going and have some fun.
Just a small part of what makes this game such a simple and comfortable time! In Spit, each player gets one of the playing decks. Each player then takes the four top cards from their deck and places it in front of them in a row, face up. The deck ranking is straight-forward and logically descending in numerical order from the face cards down: A high or low , K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. The rules and mechanics are simple. There are no turns in Spit and each player makes their moves simultaneously.
The players take the cards from their row and place them on top of the center piles. However, a card can only be played if it is one higher or one lower than the card it is played on top of.
The suit of the card does not matter. Note: Each player can have a maximum of only four cards in their row. Cards can only be played one at a time. If the two players both try to play a card on the same pile, whichever player reached the pile first gets to be the one to play their card. This is probably going to be important to remember; because the game is played simultaneously, the two players are probably going to try to make identical plays fairly frequently. Whoever gets rid of all their cards in both their deck and their row wins the game.
If both players exhaust their deck and neither one can win the game, whoever has the fewest cards left in their row wins. Piquet is a two player card game that has been around for over years. It is a trick-taking game and is notable for its distinct Western European flavor and terminology, as well as its unusual deck structure for the cards.

The game is particularly original in that it consists of six deals, which is referred to as a partie. Piquet is unique in that it requires a 32 card deck to play. However, this can be easily achieved with a slight modification of a standard 52 card playing deck. Absolutely no need to go to a store or online to search for an elusive and probably expensive 32 card deck. Piquet has quite an original process for dealing. It begins with either player shuffling the deck, and then cutting the deck for the high card.
Whoever has the high card is the winner and chooses who deals first. From there, the cards are reshuffled and twelve are dealt to each player.
Eight cards are left over as a talon and placed face-down at the center of the table. The player who does not deal is the elder hand, while the player who deals is the younger hand. If a player is dealt a hand with no face cards, they can immediately call a carte blanche and be given 10 points.
The player and their opponent then discard their hand face-up and the game goes back to where it was before the carte blanche. Once a hand is completed, the players record their totals and add it to the score for the whole party. The winner is whoever has the highest score at the end of the party. If there is a tie, two more hands are played. Each time a category and letter combo is revealed, you'll want to be the first one to slap the "I Know" card and give the right answer.
