Take Two

[dumber]

Hi, has anyone heard of the card game Take Two? Or its real name for that fact?

I have known how to play this game all of my life and it seems there is a few differations on the rules.

Does anyone know a website with the full list of rules?

Heres how I know how to play it.

Each player starts with 7 cards.

<B>Power cards.</B>
The 2 - Makes the next player take two cards from the deck and play passes to the next player unless they have a two in their hand then they can pass it on to someone else.
The 8 - Everyone I have played with seems to agree that an 8 has to be placed with the same suit, it makes the next player miss a go, however not many agree that you can pass this on if you have your own 8.
The Jack - Can be arugable if it can be put down anytime or with the same suit. Either way you can change to whatever suit you want it to.
The Ace - Can also be aruged if it can go down anytime, this card changes the direction of play, however not many people play this rule and play it as a normal card.


The Joker - Is normally used when playing a two or three deck version. Red joker makes the next player take 10 cards from the deck(s), whereas the black Joker makes the next player take 15, although it can be passed on with another Joker or a 2.



So does anyone else know of any other rules or ways of playing this age old game??


Cheers.

We play a game that's very similar, but we call it Switch.

Deal 7 cards to each player.

Turn the next card up in the middle of the table to determine suit to be played.
Everyone must follow suit.

Ace - can be laid on any card to change the suit.

2 - next player picks up 2 unless he has a 2. If he does, he lays it, and the next player picks up 4 .... and that can go on until some poor soul has to pick up 8. If you pick up on the 2s, you miss a go.

7 - the player behind picks one up.

8 - the player in front misses a go unless he lays an 8. If he does, then he lays it and the next player misses a turn unless he lays an 8.... etc.

9 - the player in front picks one up and takes his normal turn.

Jack - reverses the order of play. If there are only two players, the player who laid the jack takes a second go.

Suits can only be changed by laying an Ace or by laying a card of equal value to the last one laid. Eg - if a four of hearts is laid, a four of clubs will change the suit to clubs.
