Sevens in a nutshell

Four players are dealt 13 cards each from a standard 52-card deck. The four 7s are laid out first; on your turn you either place a card that is one rank away from a laid card of the same suit and connected to the 7, or pass. You may pass at most 3 times per deal — a 4th pass forfeits your hand onto the table. The first to empty their hand ranks 1st, and cards left behind count as penalty points (A=1, 2–10 face value, J/Q/K=10). Lowest total over three deals wins.
