Suits is a new multiplayer game of cards using a single deck of cards.

Suits
In the game of suits the object is to contain all cards, ace to king of one suit in your suit zone.

Setup
From a standard 52-card pack, the dealer deals 7 cards to each player, and places the rest of the cards in a stock deck. The dealer then looks at the bottom card of the deck, and the number value of the card is deemed wild, meaning it can be assigned any value in the game at any point by the user. The dealer than halves the deck and checks the middle card. The suit that this card belongs to is then declared wild, meaning any card of this suit can be used to replace a card of equal value in any other suit. That said, the wild number card in the wild suit can be used for ANY card in a deck. Players than at this time are allowed to place up to four of their cards into their own safety zone.

Terms
There are some terms that are required to be known before play, and they are as follows:

Hand
The cards you hold in your hand, these do follow normal rules of play.

Safety Zone
Each player has one of these. The safety zone is just an area for the player to strategically hide four of his cards and keep them away from normal play. Cards in the Safety zone do not follow normal hand card rules, unless the hand is empty. The safety zone can hold up to four cards, and empty spaces can be filled whenever you want before your turn. However, removing a card can only be done once a turn. The cards in the safety zone are placed face down.

Suit Zone
Once a player starts his suit zone with an ace of any suit, or something of equal value, the player cannot remove cards from this area. Cards must be placed on in ascending order, ace to king. Once the king is entered into this zone, the player wins. Wild cards can be used as substitutions for normal cards, but cannot be used to replace them, so to have different cards in your hand, rather normal cards can replace the wild ones in this zone, so they can be used elsewhere. Once this zone is filled ace to king, the player exclaims, "Suits" and is declared the winner.

Community Pool
A stack of face up cards, every turn a card is added to the pool, and any player can take up to 5 cards from the pool after another player's turn.

Deck
The face down stack of cards that is drawn from once a turn by everyone until empty. If a player is 'drowned', or 'killed', it is shuffled.

Drowned
Occurs when either four of the same suit, or number cards are stacked on top of each other in the community pool. The player who put the fourth card must take his entire hand and place it at the bottom of the deck, and then shuffle it. Removing a card added to the pool after a drowning will drown the person who removed the card.

Killed
Occurs when someone has 5 wild cards in their hand, and wishes to 'kill' another player's hand. The target, which cannot be the player himself, puts his entire hand at the bottom of the deck and then shuffles it. A player can only kill once.

Broken
Occurs when either three of the same color, or number cards are stacked on top of each other in the community pool. Until fixed, by having the broken condition undone, the player can put down any card he wants to. Removing a played card that fixes the pool by taking it into your hand rebrakes the pool once more.

Fixed
Refers to a normal community pool. Normal rules of play occur when the pool is fixed.

Play
Rules are as follows:

The first player, the dealer, draws one carde from the stock deck and adds it to his hand, he then has the ability to switch one card from his hand with a card in the safety zone, or if there is an empty space, he can freely put the card down. He can also decide, if killing conditions are met, five wild cards in hand, to kill another player. After this, he then has to play the lowest value card in his hand, unless the pool is broken, wild cards are high, aces are low, wild suit and number cards are highest. If he has more than one card of equal value as his lowest, he can choose which one to put down. The other players can then take the card and up to four more cards off the top. If they do not, then the player's turn is over. Game is played until a player completes his suit zone.

Alterations
There are also a few different versions of Suits:

Spider Suits: Play with two decks at once.

Natural Suits: Player wins when his suit zone is filled with cards all of the same suit, no wild unless all are wild.
