Ever played Egyptian Rat Screw???

[Imaginer]

It is not fun when you can't spot certain slapable situations and you lose the jacks you put down....

Isn't it called Egyptian Rat Slap? I've never heard of it being called "Screw." I don't like the game too much though.

Yep, just played yesterday at a party.

it's actually called egyptian rat f*** but kids call it screw when playing it around "adults". slap must be a real dumbed down version. i used to love to play that game when i was younger, but then again i'm from oklahoma.

hmm sounds interesting, how do you play?

 

[ShotgunSteven]

I used to play that card game all the time. Has been years since I did, though.

It's fun to play it while a teacher's giving a lecture.....

 

[JohnnyKnoxville]

Hmm does it require that you wear soap on a rope????

 

[randal]

wow! other people play that game? I freaking *LOVE* that game -- I have big hands and I'm really really really fast. Half the fun is watching other people scream in agony as I mash their little mits into the table.

seriously though, that is a great game -- I haven't lost in over 2 weeks!

A deck of cards is split among a number of players who are involved.
Each person takes turns to put a card in the middle pile without looking at their deck.
If by a chance a face card or an ace appears, the next person gives up cards depending on the face card or ace...

ace = 4 cards down
king = 3 cards down
queen = 2 cards
jack = 1 card

After a person places a face card or ace like a queen, if the next person can't place down a face card or a ace in two cards, then the whole pile goes to the person who placed down the queen.

The idea is to get the whole deck of cards.

Now where things get interesting is where if you spot doubles, a card succeeded by another card of the same value, then you can slap in and take the whole pile. You can also slap in by a &quot;sandwich&quot; meaning two cards of the same value with one card of anything inbetween. There is also &quot;10s&quot; as well where a card as the previous one has to add 10.

The a$$hole that I played as a kid was much different...

We called this one Egyptian Chicken Sh1t. I have really big hands, and really big knuckles- it was fun hearing people scream.
