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.
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).
