Fan Tan is an older card game where players attempt to be the first one to take all cards from their deck and not give them to other players. Initially, the four sevens are the only ones that can be legally played and after that, the six and eight are able to be played, and then A (low) as well as the K (sharp), and Q (open) for clubs, and finally the R (low). There's no restriction to the number of players. The objective of the game is to allow each player to make it to the finish line of the field of play without touching or passing of the other cards to form the strongest possible seven-card hand. If a player touches one of the cards his position is changed to the position of the card that he tried to remove from his own hand, for the purpose of removing the card.

If any player is able to take a card out of his hand prior to when anyone else in the game has reached the final table, that player will be deemed to have eliminated that card from the game, as the first of two "removals" from the board. Once this is done, there is no longer any way by which that player could change his position. The remaining players form new clubs and begin playing. These games can last for as many rounds as you like.

This small game of gambling is influenced by a variety of factors. The most important factor clearly is the luck factor, that is the general rule, "Something is always good." Other aspects include the position of seven-card studs on the table (if the game includes that feature), the colour of the studs the amount played (in the case of Fan Tan, it is the total number of coins in the pot) and the quality of the cards utilized (if the game is based on cards with a particular suit). All of these things can and will affect the way the game is played.

The standard version of Fan Tan is most commonly played in the American version of the game. Fan Tan Poker is the name of the game. It's played in an ordinary nine-hole game that has four players. The rules for this variation differ slightly from the standard version. The regular version requires that players lose the third and second games after winning the first one. In the normal version, the winner is the person who wins all games of a series. As a result, the player who loses is typically required to participate in the next tournament date he's scheduled to participate.

The second variant of the Chinese gambling game is the Fan Tan Sevens, or Fan Tan Jigsaw. This version differs from the traditional version in many ways. It is played in an instant manner. The cards aren't presented face down and are instead placed in the so-called "last known' pile. Thus, in the Fan Tan Sevens the last known cards are used instead of the regular sevens in regular versions of the game.

Fan Tan Sevens is different from traditional seven-card games in that the cards aren't distributed in the same way that they would be in a standard seven-card game. Instead, each player gets three cards in the face, with the rest being completely covered. Instead of the standard ten cards, there are now 13 cards in the deck. This version of the game does not include jokers. Instead, there are "trumps" that mark the card's positions on the table, which can be used to identify the cards.

The rules of the game are essentially similar to how they would be for regular seven-card poker. In order to accommodate the various cards being dealt, the rules for the game are altered. In the standard version, each player has seven cards available to deal with. Every player picks either a hand or holds their cards and then makes their moves. The Fan Tan sevens version changes nothing in this regard and the player is using the same hands, and making the same moves.

Following the first round the dealer will hand out five cards to each player. Then the dealer will put the final five cards on the table. Following this, every player may use their own deck of cards. They can choose to have seven cards dealt to them or any other number of cards they want to draw from the deck. If one player has drawn more cards than cards remaining in the deck, they'll have to go through the deck of cards and remove the cards that they require from the pile by removing them one at a time. After all cards have been removed from the deck, the dealer will shake the deck and give five more cards to each player. Once all of the cards are dealt, the rounds will begin again. If there is a draw on an additional card then the game will be completed and one team will take the win. The other team will need to change roles prior to the next round.
