What is the Card Game Spit?
Spit or Go Spit is a card game that many children learn after they know how to play simpler games like War, Go Fish, and Old Maid. The goal of Spit is to get rid of all your cards. The knowledge required is the sequence of card rank and the ability to count. Spit is played with Aces ranking both high and low. Setting Up the Card Game Spit The game of spit requires two players, but may be played by any practical number, each of whom has his or her own deck of cards with a distinctive design and/or color, so that each player’s cards can be identified. Players arrange themselves around a table or a space on the floor with plenty of room. Players each shuffle their own deck, and place the top four cards face up in a row immediately in front of them, but keep the rest of the deck in one hand, ready to play cards from it.
