Speed is ideally played with two players, but can be played with more if extra decks of cards are used.
The aim of Speed is to be the first player to get rid of all of your cards, so games usually have a lifespan of a mere couple of minutes. It’s a great family game (especially for families with older children) and is often a favourite for pairs while travelling.Īs the name suggests, this is a fast moving game so players have to be on the ball at all times. Speed is the kind of card game that you start out playing to kill a bit of time and before you know it you’re utterly hooked. Speed is one of those great, classic card games that requires only a couple of players and a simple deck of cards to play, but can provide hours of entertainment and really bring out the competitor in us all.
