Beggar My Neighbour

Beggar-My-Neighbour, this popular childrens game is also sometimes known as Strip Jack Naked, Beat Your Neighbour Out Of Doors, Taxes, Suck the Well, Bataille Corse (French) or Pelagalletto Straccia Camicia (Italy). Beggar-My-Neighbour is a simple card game (similar to a solitary). A standard 52-card deck is divided equally between two, three or four players. The first player lays down his top card face up, and the opponent plays his top card, also face up, on it, and this goes on alternately as long as no ace or face card (King, Queen, or Jack) appears. These cards are called "penalty cards"....
