Kemps is a matching card game for two to six teams of two players each, where each player must secretly communicate to their partner when they have four matching cards in their hand. The game is a "cross between Commerce and Authors" with the unusual feature of partnership play.[1] This "party classic"[2] is also known as Canes,[3] Cash[4] and Kent.[4] It appears to be a 21st century game played in America, France and Switzerland (known there as Gemsch or Gämsch, but its origin is unclear.[5]
