Query: Finiteness of the playing time in 'Beggar-my-neighbour' card game   It is proved that in card games similar to 'Beggar-my-neighbour' the
mathematical expectation of the playing time is finite, provided that the
player who starts the round is determined randomly and the deck is shuffled
when the trick is added. The result holds for the generic setting of the game.
