d from paying, unless he happens to have played it.
Whoever plays any of the cards which have pools or compartments takes
the counters in that pool. If any of these cards are not played, the
counters remain over for the next game.

"I SUSPECT YOU"
This game may be played by any number of persons. As soon as the cards
have been dealt and the players have examined their hands, the one on
the left of the dealer plays the lowest card he has (the ace counting
lowest). He must place the card face downward on the table, at the
same time calling out what it is. The next player also puts down a
card, face downward, and calls the next number; for instance, if No. 1
puts down a card and says "One," No. 2 says "Two," No. 3 "Three," and
so on.
It is not necessary for the card laid down to be actually the one
called out. The fun of the game is to put down the wrong card without,
any one suspecting you. Naturally, it is not often that the cards run
straight on, as no one may play out of turn, and if one player thinks
another has put down the wrong card, he says, "I suspect you." The
player must then show his card, and if it should not be the one he
said, he must take all the cards laid down and add them to his pack;
if, however, the card happens to be the right one, then the accuser
must take the cards. The player who first succeeds in getting rid of
his cards wins the game.

BEGGAR MY NEIGHBOR
The cards are dealt equally to the players. The first player puts down
a card, face upward, upon the table. If it be a common card, that
is, a two, or three, or anything but a picture card or an ace, his
neighbors put down in turn their cards until a court card (that is, a
picture card or an ace) turns up.
If at last an ace be played, the neighbor of the one who plays it must
pay him four cards; if a king three cards, if a queen two, and if a
jack one. The one who played the court card also takes all the cards
that have been played, and puts them under his own pack. If, however,
in playing for a court card, one of the players puts down another
court card, then his neighbor must pay him, and he takes the whole
pack instead of the previous player. Sometimes it happens that a
second player in paying puts down a court card, and the third player
in paying him puts down another, and so on, until perhaps the fourth
or fifth player actually gets the car
