quick/dirty card game
 

was at a (kids) birthday party and so wanted to play cards but you know kids and stuff.

so i came up with this. (3-5 players, with 1-2 being kids).

shuffle two decks.

everyone dealt 3 cards. faces =10, Aces=11.

rotating button for who goes first each round.

you have to discard 1 card (face up) to 'fold' or two cards face down to 'play'.

highest value of two cards wins all cards in middle.

eg. four players.

1) discard 4c
2) play
3) discard 5s
4) play

4's AJ beats 2's JT. (21 vs 20)
so player four gets 6 cards to keep until end.
then each player receives more cards so everyone has 3 cards.

deal the whole deck out and move button each time.

at end whoever has most cards 'won' is the winner.

would probably be better if you played multiple rounds and kept score but we didnt.

what do u think? pretty fun for a game i just made up and actually some poker like play to it as well. (also has element of position)
