Spite and Malice, also known as Cat and Mouse, is a form of competitive solitaire and has a number of variations that can be played with two or three regular decks of cards.

Spite & Malice is a card game for two players. Each player receives 5 hand cards, a pay-off pile and help stacks. The player with the highest card in the pay-off pile begins the game. The players can lay their cards in ascending order on the centre stacks in the middle of the table. The player, who lays his/her entire pay-off pile first, is the winner.
