Q: These are the cards that will be in each player's hand when the game starts. For now, deal the cards face down. When the game begins, each player will quickly flip the cards over and will look at his hand. The players should not look at each other's cards. Speed is traditionally played between two opponents. Three- and four-way speed are popular, but require additional decks of cards. The piles on either edge should have five cards in them, and the inside two piles should have one card each. The piles on the outer edges are the side piles, and will be the reserve piles that each player will use to replace the two inside piles if both players run out of moves. The inside two piles are the active piles will be flipped over when the game begins. The players will then try to place appropriate cards from their hand of five cards onto this pile. This is the pile that players will draw from after their hand of 5 cards has less than 5 cards in it. As soon as they are able to play one of the cards in their hand, they can draw for more cards from this pile. Each player has to draw from his own draw pile. Each player can look at his hand of five cards to see if any of them can be placed on the middle cards in ascending or descending order. Note that each player should keep his hands hidden from the other player -- the open hand is displayed for your convenience. On each of the cards in the active pile, you can play a card of one higher or one lower value regardless of suit (you can place either a ten or an eight on a nine, a ten or a queen on a jack, and so on. You can only place one card at a time, but you do not have to wait for the other player to place a card down before you. The ace can be played as a high or a low card. It can be placed above the king or below the two. This makes it so that the game can be played in a loop. When you play a card, immediately draw another one from your draw pile. The only time this shouldn't happen is if a player runs out of cards in his draw pile; then, he should just try to play the remaining cards in his hand to win the game. This will create two fresh cards in the center that will hopefully allow them to place one of their cards on them in ascending order. Any time no moves can be made, this process should be repeated. If this keeps happening and there are no cards left in the side piles, then the players should shuffle the cards in the center piles and place them face-down as the new side piles. Then, they can each flip one card over from these piles and continue playing. " to win the game. Some players don't think this is mandatory to win the game and that a player automatically wins if he runs out of cards. But this isn't nearly as much fun! Yelling "Speed!" makes for the perfect ending to this fast-paced game. Typically, speed is played as a best-out-of-three game. The first player to win two games wins the set. But you can play for as many games as you like!
A: Deal two players a hand of five cards each. Place four piles of cards face down in between the two players. Divide the deck in half and create a draw pile of 15 cards for each player. Start the game by flipping over the two middle cards. Each player should try to place the cards in their hand on the active piles in ascending or descending order. Each player should draw from his draw pile whenever he uses a card in his hand to make sure he always has five cards to play. If both players can't play any of their cards, then they should both flip over a card from one of the side piles into the center piles. When one player runs out of cards in his hand and draw pile, he must slap both piles of cards and say, "Speed!
