@mike32 has created/tweeked a few games. I'll let him share if he wants.

More like I created a couple terrible games and tweaked Stampler to the low spade getting half the pot with 2 of spades being the low. This is known as sizzler.

Big fan of Veronica.

Also pretty sure I traumatized @RocAFella1 and @Gunnar playing Double Hand Double Board Omaha at SQM.

Yeah but he shared an Airbnb with me all weekend, so he was traumatized way before that game.

When is the community card visible? After the initial deal?

Yes. After every one gets their 5 cards one is turned up in the middle

@Hornet introduced me to an Archie variant called Veronica.

It's regular Archie but with a single face up community card that only plays towards your high hand, cannot be used in your low.

It's fantastic. It increases the action and vastly increases the scoopability.

We have a variant that we allow two community cards: one to be exposed after the initial deal and the other gets exposed after the last draw. Can play for your high and low. We call it "Archie, with help" lol

I invented a new game a couple weeks ago. Only played it with my crew a couple times, when we got short-handed.

Dealing mechanics are identical to Dramaha, except the best Omaha hand splits with the hand with the most Cribbage points.

Obviously you need well-seasoned Cribbage players for this to be fair, but we did and it was pretty fun.

Scarney 49 - Scarney but with Drawmaha 49 rules for the value half of the hand

Scarney 0 - Scarney but with Drawmaha 0 rules for the value half of the hand

And yet, I would do it all over again . . the minor $ loss is far made up in camaraderie!
How long to SQM ?
