SEVENS

Sevens (Parliament, Fan Tan or Card Dominoes) is a card game that involves getting rid of all your cards by playing them to a layout. In the basic game this layout starts with the 7 of each suit and grows outward towards the king in one direction and the ace in the other. In France, the equivalent game is called Domino. The layout can be started with a rank of the first player's choice, and the other suits must then begin with the same rank (as in the Domino contract of the game Barbu).
