Shedding Games
Card games where the goal is to be the first player to discard
all cards. Play a matching card each turn or draw from the deck.
How Shedding Works
- Match: Play a card matching the top card's suit or rank
- Draw: If you can't match, draw a card
- Win: First to empty your hand wins

Shedding vs Climbing
Both aim to empty your hand, but:
- Shedding: Match by suit/rank. Anyone can play if they match.
- Climbing: Must play higher. Creates escalating rounds.
