Ramoli card game

A player who has been forced out of the betting cannot participate in the Pot even though he discovers later that he had the best hand. The players now pick up the cards they laid aside for the Poker Play and arrange their entire original hand in suits. The winner of the Poker hand now places on the table face up the lowest card in his hand calling it aloud. The play passes to the left and the player having the next consecutive card or cards in the same suit plays it or them face up before him.

The play continues in this manner until the ace of the suit has been played or until the continuity of play is broken by a card being in the dead hand. When a suit is closed by the playing of the ace or blocked by a card being in the dead hand, the player who played the last card now plays the lowest card in his hand in a suit of a different color to the suit last played and play continues in this manner until all suits have been run out.

If a deadlock occurs, that is if no player is able to change the color of the suit, the hand is finished and each player must place in the "Rummoli" section a chip for each card he has left in his hand.

On the Rummoli playing cover there are seven spaces marked with certain cards or combinalion of cards. As a player lays down one of these cards or sequences he collects the chips on the space marked the same as the card or cards he has played.

The first player to get rid of all his cards collects the chips on the space marked "Rummoli" and this marks the end of one hand. Divide the markers evenly among the players; each player places a marker in one of the eight different regions of the board. Shuffle and deal all the cards; some players may have more than others. In the first phase of the game, follow traditional poker rules.

The player to the left of the dealer either bets or passes. Continue betting until players reach the agreed-upon limit. The winner collects the markers from the pot and plays his lowest card from the winning hand. I took my DIY Rummoli board one step further and added a clear coat over top — you might NOT want to do this… the clear coat actually ended up pulling up some of the red and black paint causing wrinkles.
