My Favorite Card Game Pounce

nerts

Pounce is a very fun game that includes skill and practice. It is a fast played game that includes many players and many decks of playing cards.

How to setup?

First count out 13 of your cards and flip the one on the top facing up, Then get four cards out of your 52 card deck and flip them facing up.                  

How to Play

Now you can play regular solitaire using alternate colors.  With the rest of your cards, you flip 3 up at a time and add them to the 4 single cards you have laid down. These cards need to be alternating colors, and the object of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your pounce pile.  Next any aces you find put in the middle of the card game,  anyone in the game can use their cards to add to the aces in the middle, you add to these piles in the same suit and in order (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King).  The first person to run out of cards in their pounce pile yells “pounce” and they win!  This is a very fast paced game with lots of laughing going on!
