Egyptian Ratscrew Card game: how to play, what strategy, setup, instructions and rules. Online |
 | | Egyptian Ratscrew, commonly abbreviated as ERS and also known as, Egyptian Rat Fuck (ERF), NARF (North African Rodent Fornication), Egyptian Rhapsody, Egyptian Rattrap, Slap, Bloodystump, SMRF (Sand Monkey Rodent Fuck), Egyptian Rat Race, Egyptian War, and Arabian Slap, is a card game of the accumulation family, reminiscent of Slapjack and Beggar-My-Neighbour, but more complex. |
 | | For the adventurous, Egyptian Ratscrew can be played as a full-contact game: when a slap criterion is met, the pile is open to any competition: whatever cards are physically claimed by a player go into his stack. |
 | | The gameplay of Egyptian Ratscrew appears to be a combination between that of Beggar-My-Neighbour, a game known in Britain as early as the 1910s, and the concept of slapping for cards on certain combinations, possibly derived and expanded from the gameplay of Slapjack. |
