Is Sloppy Sixes a Real Game?

[D'Snowth]

I remember from the Arthur episode "Arthur's First Sleepover", to take their minds of the subjects of ghost stories and aliens, Buster whips out a deck of cards, and suggests they play a round of Sloppy Sixes. "What's that?" Arthur asks when Buster begins to explain with "It's this super cool game where you...", but is cut off when Arthur points out he was refering to the light that was hitting the outside of their tent.

I've tried looking it up, but I can't find anything about it, so I'm just wondering if Sloppy Sixes was a real game, or if was just some random writing on part of... well, the writers?

Appearantly it seems like something the writers came up with. I've found nothing on it either. Than again, I'm not much of a card-game player myself, Lol.

Sounds to me like a parody of Crazy Eights if you ask me.

I dunno... is "San Diego Scooby Doo" a real game?
