Type of Game:Trump & Trick Game
Sevens is a BIDDING VARIATION for: Forty-Two, Seventy-Nine, Eighty and Eighty-Eight hands.
Sevens is a bidding option that has no trumps or suits. The only thing that matters is the total sum of pips on the face of each tile in a bidder's hand. A player bidding Sevens believes he has more tiles in his hand whose pips total 7, or close to 7 (6 or 8), than any other player.
The bidder must bid at least 42 and cannot lose a single trick. The bidder plays his first tile, adding up to 7. Every other player must play a tile from his hand whose pips total 7 or the next-closest sum to 7. On each trick, every player must play the tile left in his hand whose pips total 7 or the tile whose pips total the closest to 7. A player does not have the option of saving that tile for play later in the hand. Play continues in this way. As tricks are played, they should remain in the middle of the table.
To set the bidder, at any point during a hand one of the opponents must play a tile whose total pips are closer to seven than the bidder's. A tie does not set the bidder.

In the game Sevens Take All, no wild cards are used and the standard game format is played which means each player will receive a total of seven cards, with the first two cards dealt face down and the next 4 cards dealt face up. The final card can either be dealt face down or face up, a choice that’s usually given to the players. In the traditional version of seven card stud, the highest possible winning hand is a royal flush. In the card game Sevens Take All, the highest possible winning hand is a pair of sevens. This means it will beat all other hands unless two players both have a pair of sevens in which case the hand is a tie and the dealer will split the pot between them.

If you’d prefer not to split the pot when two players hold a pair of sevens you can use kickers in the game. The players with the pair of sevens would have to use their highest card. If both players hold an Ace, the second highest card would be used until one player has the highest kicker.
