This is the Conversation Forum for Egyptian Rat Screw - The Card Game << Peer Review: A609789 - Egyptian Rat Screw - The Card Game Subject: A609789 - (card game) Egyption Rat Screw, Egyptian War, Slaps, Beggar My Neigbour, Strip Jack Naked Posted Aug 7, 2001 by Lucinda (et al) - Dun Researchin'   Posting 1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A609789 This game, which has a bunch of names, is something I used to play a fair bit of at school, though we didn't use the slapping variations, so it took *forever*. Anywho, I rescued this from the flea market, and I'd appreciate lots of comments and criticism, no matter how big or small. If there are any variations I missed, or you have some fond memories related to the game, please speak out!

I had a look at the original in the Flea Market and I think you have done a great job in producing the new improved version. Have you any idea about the geographic distribution of the various names? Egyptian Rat Screw sounds particularly exotic.

Volunteers still wanted Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: A609789 - (card game) Egyption Rat Screw, Egyptian War, Slaps, Beggar My Neigbour, Strip Jack Naked Posted Aug 17, 2001 by Researcher PSG [Minister of Impossibility and Improbability] - Peace! This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 6 Hello! I am the project leader on the University of Life project on card games [just thought I'd better point my vested interest before I start ]. I have to agree this is a very good entry, and would be a welcome addition to the guide which is sadly very short of card game entries. I just wondered if you might like to put it through as part of my project. Or whether you have any other card games you might like to write an entry on for the project. If your interested in being involved, pop by the project page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A597918 Well I hope to hear from you.
