How to play

All 52 cards are dealt face-down. Nobody looks at their cards. The goal is to win every card.

• Play: On your turn, flip your top card onto the pile. Turns go clockwise.
• Face cards: When a J, Q, K or A is played, the next player has 1, 2, 3 or 4 chances (the countdown) to play a face card of their own. If they do, the challenge passes on. If the countdown hits 0, whoever played the last face card takes the pile.
• Slap: Anyone can slap at any time. If the top of the pile matches an active slap rule, the first slapper takes the whole pile and starts the next turn.
• Bad slap: Slapping when nothing matches burns your top card to the bottom of the pile and costs you a strike (the ✕ marks). After 3 strikes you can't slap until the pile is next taken.
• Out of cards? You're skipped on turns, but you can still slap your way back in.

Slap rules (switch each one on or off on the start screen):

• Double: two in a row of the same rank (9 9).
• Sandwich: same rank with one card between (9 K 9).
• Top bottom: the top card matches the bottom card of the pile. Burned cards go to the bottom, so a bad slap can create one.
• Marriage: K and Q back to back.
• Divorce: K and Q with one card between (K 5 Q).
• Add to ten: the top two number cards add up to 10, with Ace as 1 (4 6, A 9).
• Ten sandwich: two number cards that add up to 10 with one card between (4 K 6).
• Run: three ranks in a row, going up or down (4 5 6, 9 8 7). Ace can be low (A 2 3) or high (Q K A).

Slap History ranks every player's slap on each card in order, with their reaction time from the moment the card landed and how far behind the winner they were. Slaps up to 1.5 s after the winner still get ranked. Bad slaps are listed in red.
