Duke

From BoardGameGeek:

Duke is a game of successive confrontations in which the winner is determined over several rounds. In a round, players take turns by either playing a card on their defense line (at the top) then playing a card on their attack line (bottom line) or by simply passing. The defending card must be the same color and strength as the last attacking card played by an opponent (with some exceptions). To win a round, simply play your eighth and final card into your tableau. The card value of this last card is scored as victory points. The first player or team to reach 15 points wins the game. At 4 players, the game is played in teams. Duke is loosely based on Goïta Shogi, a card game derived from Shogi. Shogi, literally "generals' game", is a traditional Japanese board game similar to chess.
