Pancake Card Game Rules

The Goal
Collect the whole deck of 52 cards.

The Deal
Decide on a dealer at random. The cards are mixed and dealt equally to all players one-by-one. No matter if players get different number of cards.

The Play
Every player puts his or her pile of cards face down. The player who sits on the left hand to the dealer opens his or her card and puts it in the middle of the table. The next player puts his or her card over the first card, making a pile.

The game moves clockwise until somebody plays a Jack. The player who played a Jack should slap the card over the table and take the whole pile. If the player does not notice his Jack and the next player succeeds to slap another card over it, he or she takes the whole pile.

The players should open their cards near the center of the table. If several players slap simultaneously, the pile goes to the player who was the first to touch the Jack. If the player misses to slap the Jack directly (the player slapped the table, for example) he or she should give one of their cards to the player who put down the Jack.

The winning
The player who collected all the cards wins.
