Organ Donor

Based on Choose Your Own Based on Zombie Apocalypse

Rules: The saner cousin of Zombie Apocalypse. Five Card Stud, but as soon as someone folds, pause and take their face up cards, from lowest to highest showing hands. If this goes around and there are still cards, begin collecting again from lowest.

Analysis: Because this is five-stud based instead of seven-stud, this is less likely than Zombie Apocalypse to wind up with dueling four-of-a-kinds.

The lowest-to-highest mechanic was derived from Choose Your Own, and tends to balance the game better. Like that one, you are trying to show low but still get a high hand, so you often want to aim for a flush or a hidden boat.

Graverobber: Exactly a reversed Organ Donor. This is Pair and Drop, but when someone folds, stop and take choose cards from highest to lowest showing.
