New Guinea Stud

New Guinea stud is a form of seven-card stud that starts with four down cards, followed by turning up or rolling any two of them. It is a home-game variant.

The simple explanation

Each player gets four cards face down. Then the players turn two of them face up, and the game continues as stud.

A closer look

The game is a variant of seven-card stud, with a different start: the player chooses which cards to expose. This adds a decision and gives information. It is not a standard casino game. Check the rules before playing.

A practical example

In New Guinea stud, a player is dealt four cards down and turns up two of them.
