Slapjack, also known as Slaps, is a card game generally played among children. It can often be a child's first introduction to playing cards.[1] The game is a cross between Beggar-My-Neighbour and Egyptian Ratscrew and is also sometimes known as Heart Attack. It is also related to the simpler 'slap' card games often called Snap.
