Leaners

Name of the Game: Leaners

Deal: Can be a 5-card or 7-card draw game

Draws: For 5-card, typically 2 draws of 2 (if 5 players or less)

Wild Cards: Consecutive suited cards in you hand are wild (i.e. 7 and 8 of spades, J, Q, and K of hearts, etc.)

Special Rules: Played like any poker game, but where the wild cards are your "leaners" - i.e. two or more cards in numerical order (leaning) and are of the same suite. This can be played with any 5-card, 7-card, or community poker game.

Background: I think we learned this from John's work friend King in 2005 or 2006. It stuck!
