How to Play Sevens

Description

Build four sequences outward from the Sevens — but you can only play if it connects to what's already on the table. Pass if you can't, and race to empty your hand first.

Also known as: Fan Tan; Parliament; Domino

Objective

Be first to play every card in your hand.

Setup

Deal the whole deck out to three to eight players — it's fine if some get one more card than others.

Rules

Whoever holds the seven of a suit (any suit, dealer's choice which one starts) plays it first, into the middle of the table.

On your turn, you must play a card if you can: any other seven starts a new row for its suit, or you can extend an existing row by playing the next card up or down in that same suit.

Can't play anything? Your turn is skipped.

Winning

First player to empty their hand wins.
