The game is similar to the 19th century British card game Beggar - My - Neighbour, with the added concept of "slapping" cards when certain combinations are played, similar to and perhaps borrowed from Slapjack . </P> <P> The game is played with a standard 52 - card deck or with multiple standard decks shuffled together for larger numbers of players . The number of players is limited only by each player's ability to reach the central pile at an arm's length . Each person is dealt an equal number of cards; extras are distributed as would in a normal deal . As a variation, one or more Jokers may be added to ensure an even deal or to change gameplay . </P>
