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.
