Maker’s note
Everyone's grandparents had a version of this on the kitchen table. Ours is quick and a little sharp: your two opponents remember which suits you could not follow, hold their Eights until they need them, and name the suit they have the most of. Draw up to three cards looking for a play, then pass. The cards left in the others' hands are your points, so going out first matters, and every card you shed along the way counts too. Your plays are written down as moves, so a set can be replayed round by round.
