Spit vs Speed
The names are often used interchangeably, but most rule sets treat Speed as the simpler hand-based version and Spit as the stockpile version. This site plays Spit with stockpiles and spit piles, and the Speed rules guide covers the hand-based game in full.
- Spit uses five stockpiles per player.
- Speed is played from a five-card hand with a draw pile.
- Both use the same one-rank-up or one-rank-down center rule.
