Question

How do you win if you and another person slap the deck the same number of times?

Karley Snyder

Community Answer

The number of slaps does not matter as much as the number of total cards. You can slap 1 Jack and win 10 cards in the deck, while another player can slap the Jack 3 times to win 10 cards--it just depends on how the game goes. Aim to collect as many cards as possible, rather than slapping as many cards as you can.

How many jacks should there be?

There are 4 per deck, one of each suit (the suit is the shape and color of the card).

Question

What if we run out of jacks?

Community Answer

You shouldn't run out of jacks, because the deck recycles. It's a bit like war (card game) in the way that the first person to collect all the cards wins.

Question

How many cards do I need?

Community Answer

You need a full deck without the jokers (52). You deal all the cards out evenly, so the number of cards per player depends on how many players there are.

Question

What happens when a player runs out of cards?

Karley Snyder

Community Answer

If you run out of cards, you are out of the game. However, you do have 1 more shot of remaining in the game as soon as you run out. Wait for the next Jack to be played, and be the first to slap it. This way, you win the cards in the pile currently and remain in the game.
