...my sorry ass
...this sorry site
I wanted to make a game that had wilds, but where the guy with the most wilds doesn't necessarily win.
This game is similar to Baseball. It is played like seven-card stud. There are two wild cards, 5s and 10s. If a 5 or 10 comes face up, that player can either pay a certain amount (we do $.50 for 5s and $1 for 10s) or not. If the player pays the amount, that card is wild. If not, then it is just a regular 5 or 10 (you may want to turn the card sideways to indicate that it's not wild). 5s and 10s dealt face down are always wild.
If the queen of spades (nickname: "the zamboni") is dealt face up, the hand is scrapped, everyone still in re-antes, and the hand is re-dealt. This is just like a "rainout" in some variations of Baseball. After two "zambonis", the queen of spades is just a regular card (i.e. limit of two re-deals).
If a 3 is dealt face up, the dealer immediately deals two cards to the center of the table. These cards can be used by any player that doesn't hold any wild cards (face up or down). If a 3 is dealt to the center, deal an extra two cards to the center. If the queen of spades is dealt in the center, treat it like a zamboni. If a 5 or 10 is dealt face up, it counts as a wild card.
This is a split-pot, seven card stud game. After the final betting round is over, everyone picks up their cards and divides them into a five card poker hand and a two card blackjack hand. Everyone reveals their hands simultaneously. Whoever has the best poker hand wins half the pot, as does the best blackjack hand.
In order to be eligible to win the blackjack pot, a player must have at least a pair of jacks or better in their poker hand. If no one has better than a pair of jacks, the best poker hand wins the entire pot.
This is a seven card stud game. 2s and 3s are wild. If a 2 or 3 is dealt face up, count 2 or 3 (depending on the value of the card dealt) players clockwise from who got the card. That player is the chooser. The person who got dealt the card places an amount of chips in his closed fist and places it in front of him. The chooser then chooses whether to take the card, or let the first player keep the card. Once the choice is made the first player reveals the chips in his hand.
If the chooser takes the card, he must put an amount of money equal to half the amount revealed into the pot. He must then give an amount equal to half the amount revealed to the player he is taking the card from, and also does not receive his next card. The player who loses a card this way immediately gets a replacement card, which may be stolen if it is a 2 or 3.
If the chooser does not take the card. The first player pays half of what he revealed to the pot, and half to the chooser.
Note that a player can only steal one card per round. When counting two or three players over, don't count any players that have stolen this round or the player who got dealt the 2 or 3.
This can be played as a 5 or 7 card stud game. To start, place three cards face up in a row. Place the first and second cards close while putting a space between them and the third card.
After everyone is dealt their initial cards, the player with the best hand showing can choose to "shift" the cards in the center. To shift, the first card is removed, the second becomes the first, the third becomes the second, then another card is dealt face up to become the third card.
In the next round, the player to the left will choose whether to shift or not. The round after that is the player to his left, and so on. This continues for each round players receive an up card (for a total of four possible shifts).
The first and second cards are considered to be in everyone's hand. The player with the highest hand wins.
