http://www.pagat.com/domino/sevens.html is the only reference to this game I can find, yet both my family in Kent/Essex in the south of England and my wife's in Yorkshire in the north of England played this as a family game. Any other comments on where it is/has been played might help to add a line about 'commonly played as a family game in ....'

Entry doesn't cover gameplay experience

It would be helpful if someone could explain the actual process of gameplay. How are cards played?

Where it is played

I was introduced to this game through my wife's family (from Essex, though not sure where they learned it as her father's family reached London from Ireland via Canada). Their version starts with 7 of diamonds (rather than hearts) and you don't have to wait for the 8 to be played before playing a 6. 86.54.220.222 (talk) 22:11, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We played a similar game which we called "Dominoes" - when nanna suggested playing dominoes, then grabbed a deck of cards, I thought she had taken leave of her senses!

Like as described above, you start with the seven of diamonds and play as described in the article.

A variant, for less than about five players, for people who can't handle too many cards, is to deal out a certain number of cards and "fish" if you can't go.

cards per turn

The article does not state what a player does on their turn. I mean, from this get the feeling that on a player's turn they play one card (as long as it is a legal move). In the version of the rules I've played, you can lay as many cards as you wish on your turn, if they can be played in sequence. Of course, this results in most people laying a single card on each turn regardless, usually up until their final turn when they can lay all remaining cards, in which they will---- rather than having to select a card to play each turn.

Is the as-many-cards a common rule in this game? 79.69.200.185 (talk) 23:02, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
