Question

What happens if there are no cards left in either stockpile and nobody can place anything?

Kyo Valentine

Community Answer

If there are no more cards, you should reshuffle both stockpiles, place them in the side piles, and continue to play from there.

Question

Can I put a number down twice?

Community Answer

Only if you are putting it on the other active pile, because the card laid must be either one up or down from the pile you are laying on. For example, if you have two jacks in your hand and the active piles each have a ten or a queen, then you can lay both jacks down, one on each pile.

Question

Can I put more than one card at a time in order?

Community Answer

When you play more then one card at a time it is called stacking. Some people like to play with stacking and others don't. Before starting a game you should ask your opponent if you want to play with or without stacking.

Can I look at my own cards, even if they are not actively in my hand?

Community Answer

If they are not currently in your hand, you should not look at them yet.

Question

Can you put a Jack on a Jack?

Kathryn Lemon

Community Answer

In traditional Speed, a duplicate cannot be played (for example, no Jack on Jack.) However, many players prefer to play doubles, in which this is allowed - just clarify with your opponent before the game starts, so you two can establish whether or not doubles will be used in that round.
