Help needed; a game we play but I have no idea what it is called

[TomW]

it's a game for 2 to ? players.

The number of decks used increases as the number of players do. 2 Jokers per deck are used.

Everyone is dealt  a personal stack of 13 cards, the top card is revealed.

They are also dealt 5 cards which is their hand and they can view.

Aces must be played on to the table on your turn

The common stacks on the table increase purely by numbernot by suit, Jokers being wild.

The object is to play all your personal stack on to the common stacks.

After each turn players must put a card before them in a column There are a maximum of 4 columns.

Players can add to opponents personal stacks - if 9 of clubs is showing then 8 or 10 of clubs can be added

Does anyone know what this game is called?

Thanks in advance for any help

A little similar but not the game we play.

Of course it might be that our game has mutated from another game.

Thank you for your reply.

Yeah, that Pagat site is pretty useful for looking up and learning about games!
