Fan Tan PC Card Game

Fan Tan is a four player game where the object of the game is to get rid of all your cards. Thirteen cards are dealt to each player and the cards rank from King (high) to Ace (low). In addition, each player puts one chip in the pot as an ante.
Each player in turn must play a card if possible. If they cannot play a card, they must Pass and add one chip to the pot.

The player can play any seven or any card in suit and sequence with a card that has been previously played. The sevens are placed on foundations in a center row on the table. An additional row above the sevens is built down from sixes. Another row below the sevens is built up from eights.

The first player to play all of there cards wins the hand. Every other player adds a chip to the pot for each card left in their hand and the winner takes all of the chips.

In the Five or Nine variation, the first player able to play has the choice of playing a Five or a Nine to the center row. This sets the rank for the center row and the other rows are built up and down accordingly.
