No turns. You both play at once — dump your twenty-one cards before he dumps his.
Stripped!
No turns and no waiting: you both play at the same time, as fast as you can see it. Tap any card in your hand that is one rank above or one rank below either of the two piles in the middle — suits don't matter, and an ace goes either side of a king. Every card you dump is one less to get rid of, and every few cards he takes something off. If neither of you can move, two fresh cards drop onto the piles and it starts again. He plays at your pace — up to a point. Let it drag and he stops waiting for you and just takes the table. And he gets a little quicker every time you strip him, so the last stretch is the one that hurts. Tap a card that won't go and your hand is dead for half a second, so guessing costs more than looking.
