German term or phrase: Streitpatience
A kind of card play.
First I think of patience which is a kind of solitaire. But it's mentioned in the text as played by two players. So what is it in English?

English translation:battle / combat / confrontation patience
Explanation:
it's played between two players with two decks - the one who has got rid of his/her deck first has won. it's layed out in rows of fours, built downwards in alternating colours, and when aces turn up they are placed in the centre, and it's built up on them. both players can place cards on their own and the opponent's spread. and, as I said: the one who's finished first has won.

agree  Caro Maucher: Another possibility. But Multiplayer Solitaire gets too many relevant hits to be all wrong.
