Beggar-my-neighbour, also known as strip jack naked, beat your neighbour out of doors,[1] or beat jack out of doors,[2] or beat your neighbour,[3] is a simple choice-free card game. It is somewhat similar in nature to the children's card game War, and has spawned a more complicated variant, Egyptian ratscrew.
