Egyptian Rat Screw, also known as Egyptian War, is a fast-paced, reaction-based card game where quick thinking and even quicker hands reign supreme! Forget strategy, this is pure adrenaline-fueled card slapping.
The basic premise? Players take turns laying down cards. When a face card (Jack, Queen, King, Ace) is played, the next player must cover it with another face card within a certain number of cards. If they fail, the player who played the initial face card wins the pile! But here's where the chaos begins: anyone can slap the discard pile if they see certain combinations, like doubles, sandwiches, or even a ten card. The first to collect all the cards wins!
Beyond the basics, house rules often add to the mayhem. Expect arguments, laughter, and maybe a slightly sore hand. So gather your friends, deal the cards, and prepare for a slapping good time! Just remember: reflexes are key, and a good dose of luck never hurts.
