Steal the old mans bundle card game

At your turn you must play one card from your hand face up to the table. If the card you play matches the rank of any of the face up centre cards, you must take the card you played and any matched cards and place them in a face up pile in front of you, to start your 'bundle'.

Suits are ignored in this game: a King matches a King, an Eight matches an Eight, and so on. No matter whether you matched a card or not, it is then the next player's turn to play. Any matched cards that you acquire during the game are always stacked on top of your bundle, with the card you played on top, so that only this top card is visible.

If you play a card that matches the top card of an opponent's bundle, you steal their whole of their bundle and add it to the top of yours, placing the matching card that you played on top. After everyone has played their four cards, the same dealer takes the remaining undealt cards and deals another four cards face down to each player, one at a time but no further cards to the layout. Again the players look at their hands, and play continues as before. After all these cards have been played another four cards each are dealt by the same dealer, and this process of dealing and playing continues until all the cards have been dealt and everyone has played their last four cards.
