Steal the old man's pack

Steal the Old Man's Pack or steal the old man's bundle or steal the pack is a simple card game that can be played with 2-4 players.

The dealer deals out the entire deck, all face down, to each player, until the deck runs out. Throughout the game, the players cannot look at their cards, except when it is their turn.

The dealer flips over the last card that he dealt to himself. The person to his left flips over their first card. If the cards are the same, the person who put down the card on top gets all of the cards below. If the card is not the same, the next person goes. The goal of the game is to have all of the cards in the deck.

There is a well established tournament played annually in Simi Valley, CA called the Annual Southern California Classic Steal the Pack. The tournament is held on the second Saturday in February and began in 2001. The undisputed champion of the game, having won the last five years is Christopher Reyes.
