If your final card was laid to your holding pile you will be dealt cards on the subsequent round, whereas if you play all 5 to the center stacks you will get a redeal on the current round and can keep on playing.
This game offers both timed and untimed versions. Cards from the stockpile can be played into the middle building piles. There are four building piles in the middle. These piles are started with an ace and are built up to a queen. Typically, Kings are wild, however in variations Jokers are wild.
In the building piles, the player with the highest ranking face-up card in their stockpile plays first. A player's starts by drawing five cards which make up that players hand. A player can start a building pile in the middle with an Ace or a wild King. If a player puts all five cards out, they pick up five more cards and continue. When they put a card out on their personal discard area and have one or more cards left in their hand, their turn is over.
Once a discard is made, the turn moves to the next player. That person starts their turn by drawing cards from the draw pile to make their five-card hand. On someone's first turn they will always draw five cards, but on subsequent turns they will draw however many cards are required.
The first card on a centre stack must be an Ace and then in ascending order up to the Queen and the card may come from your hand, your 4 discard piles or your play stack. You also can play a card from your hand to 1 of the 4 discard piles. This will end your turn. Only the top card of a discard pile is available for play. Available to United States residents.

Variations Number of Centre Stacks Some players allow an unlimited number of centre stacks but never more than four side stacks for each player. Some play other limits on the number of centre stacks - for example a maximum of four. Compulsory play of aces Some play that aces cannot be retained in your hand but must be played as soon as drawn to start new centre stacks. Loading the Opponent's Pay-off Pile In this variation, reported by Henry Lee, it is permissible to move the card from the top of your pay-off pile or play a card from your hand onto the top of your opponent's pay-off pile.
Size of pay-off piles Some people play with a different number of cards in the initial pay-off piles - for example 21 or Spread side stacks Some people prefer to play with the cards in the side stacks overlapped rather than stacked squarely, so that players can see the cards buried in the stacks rather than needing to remember them. Resolving Stalemates Some people play that if the stock runs out the winner is the player with fewest cards remaining in their pay-off pile.
Playing with jokers Some people include jokers in the deck for Spite and Malice. Restriction on use of wild cards Some play that a wild card King, or Joker if used cannot be used to represent an ace.
Scoring Jeffrey Jacobs suggests that if a series of games is played, the same scoring system as in the " book version " below can be used.
Massachusetts Variation Benjamin Arnoldy has reported a rather different version of the game, played in Massachusetts.
The main differences are: the payoff piles contain only 14 cards at the start; one card is dealt face up to each side-stack at the start of the game; immediately before making the side stack discard that ends your turn you must play a card from your hand to each of your empty side-stacks; if you have insufficient cards in your hand to complete your turn, you draw five new cards from the stock and begin a new turn.
The Book Version of Spite and Malice When Spite and Malice is found in card game books, the versions described are normally rather different from the one described on this page. Players and cards There are always two players. The two packs get mixed together during the play, but need to be separated out for each new game.
To make this possible, the two packs should have different backs. Pack A is a standard 52 card pack; Pack B has the usual 52 cards plus 4 jokers, making 56 cards in all. Pack A is dealt out face down to form the two card pay-off piles.
Each player is dealt a five card hand from pack B, and the remainder of pack B is placed face down to form the stock. Discarding to side stacks restricted Any card may be played to an empty side stack. If a side-stack already contains a card or cards, the card played on top of it must be equal to or one less than the card showing for example on a seven you can play another seven or a six. When you play to a side stack this ends your turn, but you may decide to end your turn without playing to a side stack if you wish.
In fact you may be forced to end without discarding to a side stack, because you may have no card that will fit. Use of jokers A joker can represent any card except an ace.
You can discard a joker to a side stack without committing yourself as to which of the possible ranks it represents. For example, if a side stack has a nine followed by two jokers on top, the next card placed on the side stack could be a six counting the jokers as an eight and a seven , a seven, an eight or a nine counting both jokers as nines. When a joker is played to a centre stack it must represent the next higher value than the card it covers.
A joker cannot be used to start a centre stack, because a joker cannot represent an ace. A joker can change its value as necessary when it is played from a side stack to a centre stack.
Restrictions on aces and twos If you have an ace or two visible on top of your pay-off pile or one of your side stacks, it must be played to a centre stack as soon as this is legal. If you have more than one such card you can choose which to play first. Jokers are not affected by this restriction - you are never forced to play a joker to the centre as a two, even if it is on top of a two on one of your side stacks.
There is no limit to the number of cards that can be played on center stacks during a single turn. However, one card played to a side stack ends a turn, and you must play a card to a side stack to end your turn.
If a player manages to play all 5 of their cards from hand in a single turn without playing to a side stack, they may immediately draw back up to five and continue their turn.
Pay-off cards cannot be played on side stacks. Cards also cannot be moved from stacks to other stacks, such as from the center stack to a side stack. This frees up space for a new center stack. The game ends when a player plays the last card from their pay-off pile to the center stack- they are the winner. The game can also end if the stock pile is exhausted, in this case it is a draw, there is no winner.
