Materials

To play SPEED you need a deck of playing cards and something hard and flat to play on.

Setting Up The Game
First choose who is going to be the dealer. Sit across from the player you are playing with. Then shuffle the cards.



Next put 2 groups of 5 cards face down on the outside. Put 2 cards face down in the middle of the 2 groups of 5.



The 2 middle cards will be the starting cards. Then deal 20 cards to each person face down so no one can see your cards. Each player has to draw 5 cards from their pile of 20. Hold them up so that only you can see your cards.


How to Play
To begin each player has to flip over the starting cards in the middle at the same time.



You have to put down a card that is before or after one of the starting cards. I'm going to give you some examples.If you have a 2 for a starting card you can put down an ace or a 3. If you have a 7 you can put down a 6 or an 8.The most important rule of SPEED is that you to put down the cards in order. This is the order of the cards from highest to lowest King,Queen, Jack, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,Ace,then the order goes around,so king is after Ace.



You have to get rid of all your cards really fast. If you are stuck and no one can flip over a card then you each flip over a new starting card from the outside piles. After y0u put down a card you pick up one card from the pile of 20 (which is not a pile of 20 anymore.)



If you put down 2 cards then get 2 from your 20 pile. How many cards you put down is how many you have to get from your 20 pile. Make sure each person has 5 cards in their hand.

If you run out of starting cards you have to shuffle the cards in the middle and put them face down in 2 piles as starting cards.Then you flip over the top cards from each pile and go on.



When someone has their last card and they put it down the game is over. When you put down your last card you say ,''SPEED!'' The winner is who ever gets rid of all of their cards first.
