How to Play Kemps?

Form two teams of two players each

Sit partners across from each other

Deal four cards to each player

Place the remaining cards face down as the draw pile

Turn the top card of the draw pile face up to start the discard pile

Try to collect four cards of the same rank

On your turn, draw one card from either the draw pile or the discard pile

Discard one card face up to the discard pile

Pass cards to your partner by giving subtle signals agreed on before the game

Watch for your partner’s signal to know when they have four of a kind

If you think your team has four of a kind, call Kemps

If your partner has four of a kind, they should signal success

If the call is correct, your team scores a point

If the call is wrong, the opposing team may score a point

Continue playing until a team reaches the agreed winning score

Use only prearranged signals and avoid obvious cheating

Keep turns moving quickly and stay alert to other players’ signals
