Race to 9001

<p>No, if by that you mean anything more complex than turning it off and back on. I only got it a couple weeks ago.</p>

<p>I actually have no idea how they work, so sorry.</p>

<p>Where you live, what do they call the game where players rapidly lay down cards a face card fails to be topped by another face card in a certain number of chances, while watching for slappable combinations? Also what are the accepted rules. Everyone seems to know that game but everyone has a different name and slightly different rules for it.</p>

<p>When I played with my cousins, we called it Egyptian Rat Screw, for some reason. I personally think it needs a more sophisticated name</p>

<p>I’ve heard Egyptian War and Egyptian Rat Screw.</p>

<p>

What my friends called it when they taught it to me.</p>

<p>I also learned it as Egyptian War, but everyone else I know learned it first as ratscrew, ratslap, slapjack, or some acronym which escapes me at the moment.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There was a time when I thought my calculator couldn’t graph negative functions… Then I realized I was pressing the “minus” button instead of the “negative” button… :/</p>

<p>How is this a race exactly? I mean, there has to be a prize or rule for someone to take the 9001st post (like a certain number of posts in the thread) or else someone who has no idea what this is will hit the 9001 without ever having done anything to get there in the first place. What’s stopping me from waiting until the 9000th post to start doing anything?</p>

<p>If you wait, then it will be slower. And I bet you want to win sooner.</p>

<p>It is known as Egyptian Rat Screw here too. Not really sure where the name came from though.</p>

<p>FIRST POST!!!111!!1!!one!</p>

<p>

I find these to be among the most obnoxious memes.</p>

<p>Kids around here called it slapjack. But it’s really Egyptian Rat Screw. Slapjack is a completely different game.</p>

<p>We call that Egyptain War too!</p>
