Its possible right? But would it still work with a standard deck of cards?

Yeah why wouldn't it be? You just have to explain the rules to whoever you're playing with.

Yes, but with my friends we play a modified version, so that the easy wins with it that you can get in the game arent possible.

Changes we have:
Get 1 deck of cards and split them. You dont get to pick cards, you just pick up off the top of your pile. Quite fun to play....we also remove jokers since those cards are a bit confusing.

Yep, its possible. However I never try playing with my friends in my cooking class.
