Question

What can I put on a King?

Community Answer

When playing Speed you can either put an Ace or a Queen on top of a King, because the Ace is starting over from the top since the King is the highest card.

Question

What is the rule about suits?

Community Answer

The suits don't really matter. Speed is more about the numbers than the suits.

Question

Can you put an 2 on a 2 or a 4 on a 4?

Community Answer

Only if you have added that variation to your game. But if you are playing by the original rules, you cannot.

Question

Who invented the card game Speed?

Community Answer

It was first published in the 1940s by Pepys Games and was played a lot like Uno. They didn't use regular decks of cards then, either.

Question

Can we only lay down the card we just drew from the draw pile?

Community Answer

No, you can play any of the 5 cards in your hands. When you play a card pick up another one so that you always have 5 cards in your hands.
