Squeak double solitaire card game

[Jim Bushnell]

Does anyone know the rules for this game? I found a posting in 1998 about it
by richard...@home.com on this group, but I can't locate him now.

Two or more people each have a 13 card "squeak" pile. Aces are played to the
center, and any player can build up on these in suit. What I can't remember
is how one's own cards are laid out. The game ends when a player has played
all of his/her squeak pile.

Thanks - Jim Bushnell

This sounds similar to a game I played a couple of days ago called "Skip Bo'
by Mattel. However that used a special deck with cards numbered 1 to 12

Skip Bo is based on the traditional game "Spite and Malice". Sounds
like "squeak" is a similar game.

The rules are on pagat.com:

If I don't insert any of the weird line breaks, is it a haiku?

I thought it was more likely to be Pounce / Nerts - see
http://www.pagat.com/patience/nerts.html
especially since one of the alternative names I have come across for
this game is Squeal.

Thr layout is the sqeek pile and 4 face up cards. If you have no plays when you layout your hand you areallowed to reshuffle & relayout 3 times. The scoring is whoeber empties their sqeek pile gets an automatic 25 points then when you sort out the center you add 1 point for each card you had in the center. The players that did not squeek count how many cards are leftin their sqeek pile and double the number. That is how many cards they need to have in the center to break even anytging over that number is points for that player. I was tought that you played to 105 but you can play to whatever number you want.

The way we played it was four cards dealt out to the right of the Squeal Pile. Then the game continued in the Solitaire manner from either the Squeal pile or the remaining cards in your hand - playing them three cards face up at a time - as in Solitaire. We played off of each other’s aces. The person who did not squeal counted their remaining cards in the pile and doubled the count which was subtracted from the number they had in the middle - aces and up (foundations).

Have not played it in years, but am now trying to teach it to my grandchildren.

We use to play a game called Spite and Malice also.
