Seven of a Suit

Sham S. Misri

A Deck of Playing cards

Three to five players can play this game. For three players, assemble three suits of seven cards each (Twenty one cards total). For four players, assemble four suits of seven cards each (twenty eight cards total). For five players, assemble three suits of nine cards each and one suit of eight cards (35 cards total). Shuffle the cards and deal seven to each.

The object of the game is to collect seven cards of one suit. One at a time, each player passes a card, from his hand, facedown, to the player on his left. This should be a card that doesn’t match the suit he is trying to collect. Play continues until a player collects seven cards of one suit.
