Banana Spit Card Game

Angol leírás

It’s spit and speed–two fast-action card games for fast-thinking kids! In both games get rid of your cards as fast as you can and without going bananas!

Object:
To be the first player to get rid of all of the cards in your stock piles.

Set Up

Shuffle the cards and deal them equally. Each player should have 26 cards. Each of you lay out 10 cards in 4 stock piles in a single row in front of you as follows:

Stock Pile 1 – 1 card face up

Stock Pile 2 – 1 card face down and 1 card face up on top

Stock Pile 3 – 2 cards face down and 1 card face up on top

Stock Pile 4 – 3 cards face down and 1 card face up on top

Place the remaining 16 cards face down in a pile to the left of your stock piles. These are your Spit cards.

How to Play
Together, count down 3, 2, 1, and shout “banana!” and take the top card from your banana pile and place it face up in the center between you.

As in Spit, play cards in sequence up or down onto the 2 center card piles. Only in this version, play cards from your hands. Play as many cards as possible from your hand and then
draw cards from your stock pile so there are always 5 cards in your hand.

If both of you have 5 cards in your hand and neither of you can play a card, count down from 3, shout “banana!” and turn the next banana card face up on a center card. Continue

playing.

If your banana pile runs out take a center pile (leaving the top card in the center), shuffle it well, turn the cards face down and start a new banana pile. Continue playing. When your stock pile runs out continue playing cards from your hand without replenishing.

Game End
The first player to play all of their stock pile cards wins.
