When they came over last night, I finally had someone to hang around, since most of my friends have been grounded. It was kinda funny to see how bad Bea and Harrison were at Scattergories, whereas Imogen beat me! We watched like 5 minutes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:Part 1, Then ate some super delicious cornbread, chicken, and salad. I beat Bea in Egyptian rat, which she introduced to me. If you want to know how to play, just follow these steps:
Steps
- 1Take a regular deck of playing cards (remove jokers) and, shuffle thoroughly.

- 3Begin the game. The person left of the dealer goes first, and pulls the top card off his/her pile and places it in the middle. You are not allowed to see your card until it is placed in the middle.
- 4Determine how many chances the next player has to lay down a face card if a card played is a face card. The next person has the following amount of chances to lay down a face card for each type of face card: four for Aces, three for Kings, two for Queens, and one for Jacks. Some people reverse these values, therefore allowing for the Ace, as is many card games, to act as the card of greatest value to players. If a player runs out of cards, and they haven't finished completing their chances, then the next player finishes for them. If no one lays down a royal card the set goes to the original player that laid down the royal card.
- 5Have the winner collect all the cards. They should place them at the bottom of their deck. They also start the next set.
- 6Slap the top card first to collect the set in the following instances. This overrides the royal or face card rule. The first player to slap the card before the next card is played can collect the cards. If it is unknown who was first to slap, the player with the most fingers on the card wins. If the event the tie remains unresolved, the slaps are disregarded and play continues.
- Double: In the event two cards of equivalent value are laid down consecutively. Ex: 5, 5
- Sandwich: In the event two cards of equivalent value are are laid down consecutively, but with one card of different value between them. Ex: 5, 7, 5
- Top bottom or bottoms up: The same card as the first card of the set is laid down. This rule is nullified if a card is burned as a penalty (see below.)
- Tens: If the two cards played consecutively or with a card in between add up to 10. For this rule, an Ace counts as one. Ex: 3-7 or 1-K-9 (sandwich)
- Jokers: Instead of taking out the jokers you can use them in the game. Anytime someone lays down a joker, the pile can be slapped.
- Four-in-a-row: If four cards with values in consistent ascending or descending order is placed, such as 5-6-7-8 or Q-K-A-2.
- Marriage: If a Queen is placed over or under a King (optional rule) such as Q-K or K-Q
- 7Add one to two cards to the bottom of the pile if you slap the pile and it was not slappable. This is called "burning cards" and voids "top bottom". If you have no cards and you false slap, then you are out of the game for good (optional rule). If you slap the pile incorrectly when you have won the cards due to the face-card rule, the face-card rule is nullified, allowing play to continue.
- 8Continue playing if you have run out of cards.
- You are still allowed to "slap in" and get cards!
- 9Continue the game until you have a winner (someone obtains all the cards).Thanks you to http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Egyptian-Rat-Screw
The night was finished off with brownies, and the loss of my shiny red box, which Harrison took home with him, with a dime. Between me and Mrs. Gwen, we got some pretty good pictures. Here are some of mine:
