Poker Party Games

Rummy:

This is a good card game for people to start playing at your poker party games when they start to get tired of poker or just don’t feel inclined to bet on a game. Rummy is traditionally played with four to six players but you can get a game going with just two or three. Plus it’s a long lasting game so you don’t need to keep going on round after round unless you want too.

Set up these poker party games by dealing out seven cards to each player and putting the rest of the deck in the center of the table at your poker party games. This will be the deck you draw new cards from. Take the top card from the deck and place it face up beside the deck. The object of the game is to make matches of three like cards or three sequential cards in a deck. Each player gets a turn to place any card they want from their hand next to the card that’s placed face up and draw a new card from the deck. If another player wants cards from the discards they can pick it up, any other cards that are placed on top of it. When a play makes a matching set they use their turn to place it down on the table in front of them.
The first player to get rid of his or her hand is the poker party games winner. Count up all the matching sets to see how many points you’ve earned; one through ten is worth five points and court cards are worth ten, fifteen points for the Aces.Say you invite a lot of guests to your poker party games? You can use that large number of people to create separate categories of games. Silly games for the very young kids at the party and a special senior poker table for the elders at your poker party games. Go ahead and set up a tournament of seniors to see which of the older guests at the party have more of the skill of the game over their long years. Set an age requirement so the young folks at the party don’t try to get in on the game.
