There are 2 Jokers in a standard deck of playing cards.

Alternatively, you can cut the deck and restack the sections repeatedly in different spots to easily shuffle the cards.

For example, if you are playing with 4 people total, each player should have 13 cards.

If you peek at your cards, you could be considered a cheater!

If you are the dealer, your turn will be immediately before the first player goes again.

You don’t have to wait until it’s your turn to slap the Jack. Slap Jack is a very fast game, so get ready for things to move rather quickly.

The number of cards you win depends on how many cards are played since the last Jack made an appearance.

For example, if you hit the 8 of Spades instead of the Jack of Clubs, give 1 of your cards to the player who played the 8 of Spades.

As you wait, your hand must remain toward your pile of cards, rather than lifted in the air in anticipation.

If you do not slap the next Jack first, you are out of the game. If you have zero cards, be careful not to slap a card that is not a Jack. If you do this, you are out of the game.
