To play, deal the deck out as evenly as possible, then set any remaining cards aside. One by one, each player takes the top card of her deck and flips it onto a central pile. Under certain conditions, players race to slap the pile — creating a "slamwich", if you will — and typically whoever is first to do so claims all of the cards in the pile. These conditions are:

• If the flipped card is identical to the card directly underneath it (a "double decker"), slap the pile.
• If two identical cards have exactly one card in between them (a "slamwich"), slap the pile.
• If a thief is placed on top of the cards, slap the pile.
• If a muncher is revealed, the next player flips as many cards as the number on the muncher card. If she fails to turn over a muncher card, the previous player claims all of the cards; if she creates a slamwich or double decker, or she plays a thief, then everyone races to slap the pile.

If a player runs out of cards, she's out of the game. Whoever collects all of the cards wins.
