Climb the pile, take the crown. The runt pays tribute.

How to play
- Lead a set of matching cards. The next player must lay the same number of cards, higher, or fold.
- Fold and you're out of the run. Whoever lays last leads the next one.
- First player out is Top Dog. Last one holding cards is the Runt.
- Between rounds the Runt hands their best card to the Top Dog. Life's unfair.
