SPAXX! & friends

All cards are distributed. Now it's about getting rid of the cards as fast as possible. The first player decides what he lays out (a combination of cards of equal value). The others must place the same combination of a higher value. You can only place cards if you have a higher combination than the predecessor. Raise or fold. The first player that plays his last card becomes the "Super Spaxx". The last player that still has cards becomes the "Spaxx". Then players have to change seats to sit in descending score order from "Super Spaxx" to "Spaxx" From the second round, cards are exchanged according to the placement. "Spaxx" has to give his 3 highest cards to "Super Spaxx" and gets 3 other cards in return.
The game follows the mechanisms of Animal Poker/Career Poker. But this game has less cards (100 vs 115) and is for less players. Both games are based on the cardgame Zhēng Shàngyóu.
Spaxx sounds as Spass, the German word for Fun.
