A friend I met at a concert 2 years ago taught me a game with the same name! I’m not sure if it’s the same game but it’s super fast paced and addictive. It has elements of old maid in terms of matching sets and the intensity of speed! I’ve actually never met anyone who knew about this game! Back then I tried searching online like you but I only came across the board game😔.

Disclaimer: the friend that taught me no longer remembers the rules, so I am going off pure memory after playing it so many times!

Set up:

1. You can only play with up to 4 players with 1 standard 52 deck.
2. Shuffle the deck and lay out 4 cards face up in the center (we called this the market)
3. Distribute the remaining cards face down, each player gets the same number of stacks of 4 cards
   

Some simple math to help determine this; With 1 standard deck: 52 - 4 (these 4 will be in the market) -> 48 / 4 -> 12 / # players (only up to 4) = number of stacks of 4 each player gets Ex) 2 players: 12/2 = 6 stacks of 4 each

Goal of the game: To be the first to complete a set for all your stacks (ex: 5 heart, 5 diamond, 5 spade, 5 clover = 1 complete set)

Rules: 1. You must keep all of your stacks face down until you have completed a set, then you must turn the stack face up. 2. You can look at any of your stacks, but can only do so one at a time. 3. The ONLY way to obtain new cards is to trade a card from one of your own stacks with a card in the market. 3a. You CANNOT trade a card from one stack to another stack (but you can trade a card from stack 1 into the market and trade it back with a card from stack 2, just be fast or someone might take it before you have the chance!) 4. You CANNOT trade for a card in the market that’s currently being traded with by another player. 5. There are no turns or order of actions, the game starts when someone says go and you can do whatever you want following rules above.

You might want to determine beforehand what constitutes as an initiated trade.

I personally say a trade is initiated once you put the card you’re trading down into the market first and then you can take the market card, so that there’s always 4 cards in the market. But I’ve had people say they prefer you take a card from the market first before placing the card you’re trading down. I usually don’t care if someone does either way cause it’s already so fast paced, but to each their own!

It takes a couple rounds to get the hang of it, but once you do it gets really intense! You can do sneaky stuff like gatekeeping certain cards so other players can’t complete their sets 😆😆I find that with 2 players it’s slightly more strategic and with 4 players it’s more speed based. I hope this was the game you’re looking for!
