I loved Spit. Let me get my cards and try to remember how to play.

OK, each player gets half the deck. Each lays out 5 piles of cards, top card turned up. Under each pack of cards like solitaire are cards facing down. 0 cards – 4 cards.

Each player puts a card in the middle (2 piles in the middle). Either player can then add one of the cards from their solitaire hand on top of either middle pile if their card is 1 higher or lower than the top card.

When nothing could be done on either hand by either person, you still had cards left and you’d say “Spit” and each would turn a card from your deck into the middle and try again.

Is that it? Do you have to alternate colors? How do you open up a closed hand. In solitaire you can only move a king off a pile. Can any card be moved off in Spit?
