Spoke to Claude. He told me of two new game ideas.

DIAMOND CLUB - Use standard deck for 4 - strip out 2's for other nos. to make an equal deal. 2 of diamonds is always kept in. Player with 2 of diamonds plays it first. Players in turn must either follow suit either higher or lower, or play a higher card of the next suit sequence - D - C - H - S - etc. When a p[layer can no longer play he is out of the game but picks up all cards played so far. Continue His remaining cards are shuffled and dealt out to remaining players. The last player in gets his own remaining cards and the remaining cards of the p[layer to just go out. Cards count 1 point each except diamonds which count 10. As a possible alternate rule - a player must follow suit if able but can choose to go out instead of switching suits if he wishes.
