Tonk Card Game Rules
A discard pile is a special pile of cards, turned face up, placed next to the stock.
In a game with a discard pile, typically you have to draw a card from the stock or from the discard pile at the start of each turn. And at the end of the turn you must play one of the cards in your hand to the discard pile, where it becomes available to the next player.
Tonk is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards and each card has a point value in the game. All picture cards are worth 10 points, but aces are worth only 1 point. The rest of the cards are worth their face value in points. A 2 is worth 2 points, a 3 is worth 3 points, and so on.
Tonk The Card Game
It is never allowed to play a card to the discard pile that came from the discard pile in the same turn. (But if you drew a card from the stock, then it is allowed to play it to the discard pile immediately.)

Tonk is a card game played with a standard 52 card poker deck that I first came across in Glen Cook's Black Company series of fantasy books which I highly recommend. From the readings, I was able to piece together a playable and enjoyable card game that is both fast paced.
