Sevens

Sevens, also known as Laying Out Sevens, Fan Tan, Crazy Sevens or Parliament.

This version in particular is from the website Tinierme.

3-7 players.

Except for the cards already laid down in the center of the table (the four 7's), the whole deck is dealt to the players.

Scoring is done by who's placed all their cards first. The first person to place all of their cards down first wins, followed by second place, third place and etc

The game is won by emptying one's hand before the other players.

Only one card can be laid down per turn and must be laid down in sequence starting with 7. Players can start in either direction of their choosing.

Give a stack of four chips to each player, these are used to identify how many skips have been used.

There are a total of three skips available which can be used at any time. If a skip is used, a single poker chip must be put on the table to identify that you've used a skip.

If, when it has come to your turn and you have no playable cards, you must use a skip. Skips can be used at any time whether or not you have playable cards.

If a player has no playable cards and they have used all their skips, they lose. They must lay out all their cards in order on the table and place the fourth and final chip down to identify that they're out.
