Shichi Narabe

Shichi Narabe is a card game closely related to Fan Tan (another card game not to be confused with the gambling game known by the same name); both games are frequently known as "Sevens", adding to the confusion.

In Shichi Narabe, a traditional card deck is dealt out; players place all 7s onto the table. From there, players may play cards higher than the highest card currently on the table, or lower than the lowest card. (Aces are low). The game is described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shichi_narabe.

The primary difference from Fan Tan (the card game) is that in Fan Tan, the 7s are not played to the table to start the game.
