Spite & Malice is Hasbro game based on the traditional card game of Spite and Malice (also sold as Spite 'N' Malice), which dates from at least the 19th century. The object in all of these games is to be the first to play all the cards from your card stack to the build piles, using additional cards from your hand and your discard piles.
The Hasbro edition uses suitless numbered cards and adds action cards and other twists to the original (which is played with several standard 54-card decks, including jokers).
Skip-Bo, Flinch and Da Capo! are based on the original Spite and Malice. Hasbro published a cat-themed edition of the game in 2003.
