The rules, for those who're not "in" on this hanukkah game.
As I was playing this with my wife and daughter the other day, it occurred to me that it's a) entirely luck-based, no skill whatsoever and b) has the potential to never end as one player goes out and then the remaining two players endlessly swap coins with each other like some kind of hebrew-powered perpetual motion machine.
Anybody ever encounter any variation to the rules that gives it a little more of a skill and/or finite aspect? Other than an adult coming up and declaring the game over.
