Sevens
Build each suit out from its seven. Hold back the cards others need. 3–8 players.
Also known as Fan Tan, Parliament, and Domino.
How to play Sevens
- 1All the cards are dealt out, so some players may have one more than others. Whoever holds the seven of diamonds plays it to begin.
- 2After that, each turn you add one card to the layout in the middle: a seven starts a new row for its suit, or you can extend a started row by the next card up or down in that suit (a 6 or 8 of diamonds next to the 7, then a 5 or 9, and so on). Aces sit at the low end, kings at the high end.
- 3If you have a card that fits, you must play one. If nothing fits, you pass.
- 4The round ends as soon as someone plays their last card. Everyone else scores a point for each card still in their hand.
- 5There is one round per player, so everyone deals once. The lowest total wins.
