Went to play poker tonight. It devolved into us trying to find a new game once we lost enough money/players. So a buddy and I came up with a game. The game goes like this:
1. Dealer deals out two cards per person.
2. Player can look at their two cards.
3. Gameplay goes clockwise from dealer
4. You can trade one card per round.
-You can trade with anyone on the table.
-You can't trade back for the card they traded you. You must trade a different card.
5. You must leave your cards on the table and can't shuffle their positions.
6. After everyone as traded once, everyone flips their cards over.
7. See who wins.
8. Next person clockwise from Dealer is now the Dealer.
The game mainly focuses on the colors. White (Red) and Black. Black is bad. White is good. When dealt you get three options: Pure White, Mixed, Pure Black. If you end the round with Pure White, you win. If you end with Pure Black, you lose. These happen no matter what. Mixed is a maybe. Pure White > Mixed > Pure Black. If there is a tie with Mixed ,you add the number of the cards together, with Ace=1 and Face=10. Higher cards are winners.
Those are the basic rules. You keep going for a while. We started playing by betting on whether or not our hands would win and it devolved into whoever loses takes a shot.
The game is fairly simple but since you can't change the order of your cards and everyone is watching you and the cards you trade (and more importantly the cards you didn't trade) there is a fair amount of thought/bluffing involved.
After a while, we came up with some optional rules:
-If Dealt hand is White King and Queen, you instantly are a winner and the round is over. Everyone flips the cards to see who won/lost.
-If Dealt hand is Black King and Queen, you instantly are a loser and the round is over. Everyone flips the cards to see who won/lost.
-If There is a Pure Black and everyone else is Pure White the loser is Lynched and can't play for a predetermined amount of time. (We did one)
-If There is a Pure White and everyone else is Pure Black the winner is Lynched and can't play for a predetermined amount of time. (We did one)
There were a few more optional rules but I can't remember them. Figured I'd post here mostly to make sure I had a record of the rules but also in case anyone here was looking for a silly game to play here and there.
