Playing cards game variations query?

Is there a game that can be played with 2 or more packs of cards but with random cards missing? I know that we could buy 2 new packs but it is a hypothetical question as my friend claims that his family used to play it when he was young but can't remember it's name or how it is played.


Thanks for your help.
