Ranter-Go-Round

Ranter Go Round is a primitive, traditional, English gambling game and children's game using playing cards that also nowadays goes under the name of Chase the Ace. In America it is usually recorded in the literature as Ranter Go Round (rarely is it hyphenated), but is also sometimes called Screw Your Neighbor which, however, is an alternative name used for at least four other quite different card games. A similar game is known in most European countries as Cuckoo; it originated in 16th-century France and developed into the French game of Coucou. Ranter Go Round is related to the dedicated pack card or tile games of Gnav and Killekort.
