Winning
A player only wins when he or she owns every last card in the game. If all but one player is eliminated and cards remain in the pile, the lone player must continue playing cards until he or she wins the final pile by a slap, or by a challenge. This gives the rest of the players one final chance to slap back in.
It is rare, but possible for all cards to be in the pile without any of the players having any. If this happens, the game is simply a draw.

Famous quotes containing the word winning:
“There are two great pleasures in gambling: that of winning and that of losing.”
—French proverb.
“Our security depends on the Allied Powers winning against aggressors. The Axis Powers intend to destroy democracy, it is anathema to them. We cannot provide that aid if the public are against it; therefore, it is our responsibility to persuade the public that aid to the victims of aggression is aid to American security. I expect the members of my administration to take every opportunity to speak to this issue wherever they are invited to address public forums in the weeks ahead.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
