Chase the Ace

Let me explain this game to you.
Also let me apologise in advance. This has nothing to do with poker, however it's a card game and it is err.....well we'll come to that later. I will move it if people object, however it'll let a bit of fresh air into the recently stagnant poker section.
Let me explain Chase the Ace. The more players the better, but if you have more than 51, you'll need another deck of cards.
It's 2 players and more but the more the merrier.
Ok, you all put three five pence pieces in front of you. Can you afford to do that? DO YOU.. CIO YOU NO.. ARE U SURE WHATS GOING ON?.. ID JPFUK CALLING URE BLUFF LOOL..worried lugs? Yeah anyway, three five pee pieces in front of you.
Right now get your uncle to deal the cards out clockwise to the people at the table, for this round your uncle is the banker and you all get one card each. Look at your card but don't show anyone else unless it is a KING in which case turn it up for all to see. Ok play proceeds from the left of your uncle. Now imagine you are first to act. Have a look at your card. The idea is that at the end of the round, the person with the lowest card pays 5p (one life), when you've paid 15p then you're out!
So you have a choice to make, do you swap with the person to your left or stick with what you've got?
You can only swap if the person to your left has not exhibited a king.
This contiunues to the dealer, which in this round was your uncle who tuns over his card for all to see, he has a choice to stick, or swap for a card on top of the deck. Then it's showdown, lowest card pays, joint lowest cards pay. ACE is low.
Game is played until the last person left with 5p or more scoops the pot.
There were ten of us and I'd already lost the first session. Next session and I'm in the final two players. So that's 8*15p in the pot, £1.20 up for grabs! No wait, we were both down to one life each, so that's an extra 20p...£1.40 at stake.
My uncle was dealer and I saw the 4 of clubs, I swapped for his queen of spades. Showdown.....my queen to his four.......cards face up before he drew as we both knew each other's cards..........thinking that £1.40 was mine and it'd go a good way towards paying for a Sub of the Day I smiled, imagining myself first past the post.
So turning over the card................KING!
KING!
I was doomed and it was game over.
