W4191: Kemps in Splash! 2010 (Nov. 20 - 21, 2010)
A ridiculously fun card game for four players. The rules are simple: get four cards of the same rank (number) in your hand. Work together with a partner to signal that you have four of a kind and have your partner call Kemps! But make sure the other team doesn't see your signal or they'll call Counter-Kemps on you. Confuse your opponents with elaborate signals and have a load of fun doing it.
