So, I'm trying to figure out the name of a card game......

[chickenbuddy]

First of all, this card game is NOT pyramid solitaire!

Here's the setup:

There are two players, let's call them A and B. So it is A's turn, he can take as many cards as he wants from any one row.
He can take an entire row, or one card from a row, but cannot take cards from two different rows.
Now it is B's turn, he does the same thing.
The object is to avoid taking the last card.
Play continues until one player takes the last card, that player loses.

Any ideas are much appreciated. In case you are wondering why I'm trying to discover the name is because of a little contest.

I KNOW! there are 15-17 cards i think, the thing is to get the other player to stay with 5 cards. then you win no matter what.
