Last card

Last card is a shedding-type card game popular in New Zealand and Australia.[citation needed] It is similar in most aspects to Uno, Mau Mau, or crazy eights, but several rules differentiate it, for instance the function of a particular card.

Deal seven cards to each player. When the cards have been dealt to each player, the top card on the deck is flipped over to commence play. This card only dictates the starting suit and nothing else.[citation needed]

Various "pick up" rules apply throughout the game.

The first player to empty their hand is the winner.

When a 5 has been played, the following player must draw five cards or play another 5 (stacking), forcing the next player to do the same or be forced to pick up ten (the original 5 plus the following 5) cards. (With there only being four 5 cards in a standard deck, the maximum draw is 30 cards 5 5 5 5 Joker and also another Joker.)[citation needed] This rule is still present if a player has used their last card, but still needs to pick up. Making someone pick up does not skip their turn.[citation needed]

When a 2 has been played, the following player must draw two cards or play another 2 (stacking); the subsequent player is then required to play another 2 card or draw four (the original 2 plus the following 2) from the deck. (With there being four 2 cards in a standard pack the maximum draw required is 12 cards.)[citation needed] This rule is still present if a player has used their last card, but still needs to pick up.

If you wish to play more than one 2 or 5 or a combination of both, you must put the cards down together in one turn, e.g. you want to play three 2s for the next player to pick up 6 you place all cards down together.

When a 10 card has been played, the following player misses a turn.
