Screw Your Neighbor
One kit. Endless games.
Setup and Basics
Players: 3 or more.
Deck: Standard 52-card deck.
Card Rankings: King is the highest card and Ace is the lowest. Suit does not matter.
Lives or Chips: Each player starts with 3 lives or chips.
How to Play
The Deal: The dealer gives one card face-down to each player. Players look at their cards secretly.
Kings: If a player is dealt a King, they must immediately turn it face-up on the table. A King cannot be traded, and the next player cannot swap with it.
The Turn: Play starts with the player to the left of the dealer and moves clockwise.
Swapping: On your turn, you can either keep your card or force a trade with the player on your left. The player on your left must accept the trade unless they hold a face-up King. If they have a King, your turn is skipped.
The Dealer's Turn: When play reaches the dealer, the dealer can either keep their card or trade it for the top card of the remaining deck. If the dealer draws a King from the deck, they must keep their original card.
Scoring and Winning
Reveal: After the dealer goes, all players reveal their hidden cards.
Penalty: The player with the lowest card loses one life or puts a chip into the pot. Ties result in all lowest-card holders losing a life.
Elimination: When a player loses all lives, they are out. The last surviving player wins the game.
