Survivor

Name of the Game: Survivor

Deal: 2 Cards per player, 5 community cards face down

Draws: no draws

Wild Cards: Little ones (lowest card a player's hand).

Special Rules: Bet after the initial deal. Then, flip each communal card, betting after each of the first 4 cards. The last card is the eliminator which "votes" another card of the "island". It eliminates the closest card numerically. If a tie, then it eliminates the closest card to it, leaving only three cards in the community cards. One more betting round. Then players make poker hands from their two cards and the 3 community cards, with the lowest of those 5 a wild card.

Background: Inspired by a true reality show, based on almost true events, created by a true person, with almost a true ring of truth. This game adds excitement by eliminating a card at the end of the game, potentially changing the value of the hand very quickly.
