To begin, both players say "spit" (or "slam" or "speed", depending on the variation) simultaneously as each player flips over the top card from their spit cards into the centre to start the two spit piles. Then, the two players attempt to play the cards from their rows of cards into the spit piles as fast as they can; there are no turns.
Cutthroat or cut-throat, also sometimes referred to as three-man-screw, is a typically three-player or team pocket billiards game, played on a pool table, with a full standard set of pool balls (15 numbered object ball s and a cue ball); the game cannot be played with three or more players with an unnumbered reds-and-yellows ball set, as used in blackball.
Once the first player is "out", all other players are allowed 1 extra turn (in order) to either improve their hand to reduce their score, or in some cases also become "out" (i.e., scoring 0 points). The winner of a game of "Three thirteen" is the player who, at the end of the final round, has accumulated the fewest points.
A player may try to place early coins not only to promote scoring using later coins, but also in such a way as to be pushed by the later coins into positions where further scoring opportunities may be created. Thus, in this version of the game, a very gifted (and/or lucky) player could theoretically win the game in a single turn.

Each team begins the game with an equal number of stones and shares these stones equally among its members. For instance, in a game of 3 players against 4, each team could get 12 (or 24) stones. Players from the 3-player team would get 4 (or 8) stones each while players from the 4-player team would get 3 (or 6) stones.
