Speed is a fast-paced card game for two players where the goal is to be the first to get rid of all your cards.

‍

Place two piles of five cards facedown in the middle of the table. Between those piles, place two more piles of one facedown card each. Divide the remaining cards between the players, so that each gets their own 20-card draw pile. Before the game starts, each player takes five cards for their hand.

‍

Flip over both of the single cards at the same time to start. Both people play the cards in their hands simultaneously as fast as possible onto the face-up piles, one rank higher or lower than the card you’re playing on. If neither player can play a card on the two face-up piles, then use the two piles of facedown cards. To continue play, each person turns over a card from one of the facedown piles and places it face up on the middle two piles. Each time you play a card, take one from your draw pile to maintain five cards in your hand at all times. If you play all of your cards before your opponent, shout “Speed!” to win.
