How To Play Cat Scratch?

Shuffle a standard 52-card deck

Deal all cards evenly to all players

Keep your cards face down

On your turn, flip the top card from your pile into the center

Say the card’s rank as you play it

If the card matches the rank of the previous card, race to slap the pile

The first player to slap the pile wins the center cards

Add the won cards to the bottom of your pile

If you slap when there is no match, you may lose cards or be penalized by house rules

Keep playing until one player has all the cards or the group ends the game

Use any agreed house rules for special cards, penalties, or timing
