    I made a C++ program that simulated War. I found that one player has an average of a 58% chance of winning.

    Hey,
    I could not find the game I was looking for, so i made a rule sheet by myself, I think i remembered all of the rules. It is a really fun multiplayer card game.
    Try it out!

    Screwy Louie

    Rounds:
    1. 2 groups
    2. 1 group 1 run
    3. 2 groups 1 run
    4. 1 group 2 runs
    5. 2 groups 2 runs
    6. 3 groups
    7. 7 card run

    Groups are at least 3 cards of the same kind
    Runs are a run of at least 4 cards of the same suite

    Scoring:
    Red 3 s = 50 pts
    Aces = 20 pts
    2 s = 20 pts
    King-9 = 10 pts
    8-3 = 5 pts

    50 points to the dealer if he cuts the correct or one over the amount of cards to be dealt
    50 points to the person that goes out

    · Deal 7 cards to each person
    · Use one deck for every 2 people playing
    · Play with 3 people at least
    · For an odd number of people playing
    o 2 decks for 3 people
    o 3 decks for 5 people
    o 4 decks for 7 people
    o Etc.
    · The object of the game is to get the most points by the end of the game

    · 2 s are wild
    · Start by flipping a card over from the top of the deck
    · If you want the card, when it is your turn, you may take it and replace it with another card from your hand
    · During every turn you must draw one card from the pile
    · You may not exchange the face up card if you have drawn a card from the pile
    · At the end of your turn you say GO
    · If you have the correct combination of cards for the round then you may lay your cards face up on the table
    · If your opponent has a 2 that he/she lays down, then if you have the card that he/she needs you can interchange it with the 2, but you must use the 2 straight away
    · When some one goes out, the cards in your hand count against you and the cards that you have laid down on the table count for you
    · The game ends when the 7 rounds are over

    Screwy Louie Card Game-- the Best

    I think the previous post is more like the game I call "Black Queen" where you try to get points.

    In the Screwy Louie I've been playing for 30 years, your goal is the least points. Here's the rules:

    Screwie Louie

    Goal: have the least points at the end of the game

    Round 1: 2 sets
    Round 2: 1 set, 1 run
    Round 3: 2 runs
    Round 4: 3 sets (lighting round)
    Round 5: 2 sets, 1 run
    Round 6: 2 runs, 1 set
    Round 7: 3 sets

    SET: 3 or more of the same (4,4,4 - Q,Q,Q - 10, 10, 10, etc.)
    RUN: 4 more more in a row, SAME SUIT ( 2, 3, 4 & 5 of Hearts, J, Q, K, A of Spades, etc.)

    When you get ALL components of a Round, you can then "lay down" your cards in front of you. Cards on the table have no point value. Cards left in your hand after a person has no cards left count.

    After laying down, you can then play on other people's cards on the table.

    Point Value: 10, J, Q, K = 10 points
    Aces = 20 points
    Jokers = 50 points
    2 thorough 9 = face value

    You MUST discard a non player to end each round. If your discard is a player, it is picked up out of the discard pile and played on somebodys cards and the round continues until a person's discard is a non player.

    You can BUY up to 2 times each round. A buy let's you take the discarded card PLUS 2 more from the pile that you have not seen. When you wish to buy, the player states "buy" and if no one in front of them wants to buy the card, or the person whose choice it is to pick up the card for free does NOT want that card, then the player can buy it.

    Aces play next to a King or next to a Two, but you can't rotate around like this: K, A, 2, 3

    To start the game, shuffle and deal 11 cards to each player. For 4 players you will need 2 decks For each additional 1 or 2 players, add another deck of cards. Then turn a card up and the first person can choose to take the up card or take from the down pile. They then discard a card and play continues to your left.

    After a person discards a non player and they have no cards left, count up all the cards left in your hand and that's your score for that round.

    Also, you cannot lay down more than what the round calls for. For example, in round 2 your goal is one run and one set. You can't lay down additional runs or sets, only one run and one set. You can build off that run and set as much as possible, but a 2nd run or 2nd set is against the rules.

    Cribbage ----- great game for the thinking man
    Knockout whist ------ easy fun game
    3 card brag ----- test of nerves, even more so than most poker varieties
    Butterfly & Dirty Jew ----- locally made violent games
    Shit head ----- pretty easy game, lends nicely to variations
    Blackjack ----- not the make 21 game, but a fun game for a few people
