Q: Pick one person to be the dealer and have them hand out a deck of 52 playing cards, face-down and one at a time, to each person going clockwise. This game can be played with anywhere from three to eight people.  Depending on the amount of players, the cards may be dealt unequally. To solve this, switch dealers each round so that everyone has a round with the lowest or highest amount of cards. As long as the dealer switches clockwise and each dealer hands out cards going clockwise, the pattern will repeat fairly. To help keep yourself focused, organize the hand dealt to you. You want to arrange the cards first by suit, and then in numerical order. It’s best to start with any twos on the far left and run them up to the ace on the far right.  A whole run will look like this: 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A.  The four suits are hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. Alternating the colors of the suits in your hand will also make it easier to find cards to play. Whoever has the seven of diamonds lays it down on the table. When a seven of any suit is played it starts a "layout." A layout is made by laying cards down one by one next to the seven in sequential order.  You will have four layouts total, one for each suit. As the game continues, the only way a suit layout can be started on the table is if someone plays a seven. Some variations of this game select the person to the left of the dealer to go first, regardless of who has the seven of diamonds. Layouts go horizontally on the table. You can create a grid of 4x13 cards if you put each suit going sideways above one another. Or instead, you can start stacking the rest of the sequence of a suit on top of the 6 and 8 cards to save space. If you lay the cards vertically within their suits, the game will resemble the solitaire setup. Each person puts down one card on their turn, but it has to be the next card in relation to the ones already on the table. For example, the next cards played after a seven will either be the six or the eight in that suit.  Going in order from the seven means you will play cards that descend to the two card of that suit on the left-hand side of the seven and on the right-hand side, the card values will ascend to the ace.  For example, if you have a jack of hearts, you can’t play that card until someone has played the ten of hearts on the table. You can only put cards of the same suit together. If a seven of hearts is on the table, you can only play a six of hearts next to it, not a six of spades. Knocking the table is one way to say that you are passing on your turn. Or instead, you can just say “pass.” You may pass when you don’t have any cards that are playable. For instance, if there are only fives through nines on the table and all you have left are twos and face cards.  It is against the rules to pass on a turn if you have a card that can be played anywhere on the table. If playing with poker chips, one penalty you can use is that if someone passes when they had cards to play, they have to put three chips in the pot. Go around the table, each putting one card down, until someone plays their last card. They are the winner of that round, and if you’re only playing one round then they are the winner of the game. Collect all 52 of the cards and start a new round or game.  You can play several rounds within one game to play longer or just play a quick game while killing time. You have several options for choosing the next dealer. One option is that the person to the left of the original dealer is now the new dealer. The other option is to have the winner deal the cards, or the person to the left of them. All that matters is that each person gets a chance to deal the cards.
A: Deal out an entire deck of cards. Arrange your hand in order of suit and numerical order. Start each round with the seven of diamonds. Organize the layouts on the table. Take turns putting one card down at a time. ”Knock” when you cannot play any cards. Continue playing until someone runs out of cards.

Q: Depending on the number of family members and guests, you may need more than one. Ask your friends to bring their tents if needed. If you are new to camping, follow the instructions to assemble a tent. Use a good quality tent; this isn't the time for the beach shade. It must be a tent you'd really camp in, to protect you from the rain, bugs, and wind. Put something soft on the floor to lie on: camping cots, a blow-up air mattress, yoga mats, a thick comforter, or even couch cushions work well. Add pillows and lightweight sleeping bags or cotton blankets for summer warmth, especially if you live where the night temperatures dip considerably. Add soft toys or stuffed animals for the kids. Put a few flashlights, lanterns, or glow sticks in each tent as well. You can also set out decks of cards or board games in case it gets chilly. If you have a picnic table or a patio set, that would work best. Otherwise, set up a few lawn chairs and a small table to set out drinks and food. A low-maintenance option is to lay out a blanket in the sun, so that your friends can relax, eat, and chat. Be sure the grass isn't wet! Before laying out the seating area, do a sweep for doggy do-do, ant hills, prickles, or other irritants and nasties that might spoil the experience. Mosquito bites will surely put a damper on the fun, so be sure to get plenty of bug repellant for you and your guests. You could also use a bug zapper or light citronella candles or tiki torches filled with citronella to keep pesky bugs away. Ensure your children know not to touch or play with bug zappers, citronella candles, or tiki torches. Even bug spray can be dangerous if ingested or sprayed in the eyes. Make sure an adult supervises or applies the products for children. You could prepare something ahead of time, or even order out. Pizza is a good option, if you are with a large group of people. Have a few bags of chips, or other snack items set out, as well as a cooler full of ice with a variety of drinks. For hot summer afternoons consider making homemade treats, including:  Pizza Hot dogs Fries Popcorn Lemonade Chocolate chip cookies
