Cuttle

Cuttle is a two-player card game played with a regular deck of 52 playing cards. The aim of the game is to have at least 21 points worth of number cards on the table. During a turn a player can either take a card from the stock pile, play a card on table or play a card as a one-off effect. Almost all of the different ranks of cards have special effects, such as "remove all number cards from the table", "counter an effect just played", "take any card from the scrap pile", "see your opponents cards" etc. The game is somewhat similar to Magic: the Gathering but likely much older. Pagat.com dates it to "the 1970s at the latest". See also Control, Scuttle! and Wreck
