Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Deck of cards with jokers removed
  • 3 to 5 players
  1. Step 1

    Shuffle and deal the cards one at a time to each player until you have dealt out seven cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down and to the side.

  2. Step 2

    Determine which suit you have the most of in your hand. Start collecting that suit. Don't tell anyone which suit you are collecting.

  3. Step 3

    Discard one of your cards if you are the dealer by putting it on the table face down. Go around the table clockwise taking turns to play.

  4. Step 4

    Put down a card that you want to discard if you are sitting to the left of the dealer. Pick up the card that the dealer just put down and put it into your hand. The next player does the same thing and so on around the table.

  5. Step 5

    Win the game by having all seven of the cards in your hand the same suit. When you have all seven, you must yell out, "Suit of Armor" to let everyone know that you just won!

Tips & Warnings
  • You don't have to stick with the same suit. You can change as you go if you find you're getting more of a different suit as the game progresses.
  • This game is more fun and exciting when you have five kids playing.
