There was also the rule that if all four cards of a certain value were played on top of each other, they (and maybe everything below) was burnt. Also, you could play multiple cards of the same value.
2 - Reset to 2 3 - Most powerful card. Is instantly burned after that round of play ends - you can never pick up the three. The only way one could avoid picking up the stack after a three aws played was by playing another 3, an 8, or a 10. 8 - invisible card. 9 - next card has to be equal-or-lower, rather than the usual equal-or-higher (reverts back to normal play after someone puts down a lower card) [I'm pretty sure you couldnt play this on a 3, but otherwise at any time.] 10 - burn card
I've played a couple of variants, including with "change direction of play" and "miss a turn", and I'm sure I've missed at least one from these rules, and this may be an amalgam...
We actually stopped playing this, and moved onto Egyptian Monkeyspank" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Ratscrew), which roughly resembled a violent combination of snap and beggar-my-neighbour, with some more insane rules. The fact that a pair with another card between was treated the same as a pair made for a lot of fun.
