Budget Anaconda

Rules: Anaconda, but the high/low is determined by color. There is no declaration round; instead, if you have more black cards you are high, if you have more red you are low.

Analysis: Dramatically changes the passing strategy, and is fairly tricky to read. Truly excellent hands (either high or low) are far more difficult than in normal Anaconda, and you have to pay extremely close attention to avoid screwing yourself over.

A favorite of mine, although it sometimes produces some groans when I call it.
