Bored Follow the Queen
FL · 8-max
Setup
Bored 7-Card Stud. Each upcard dealt immediately after a queen is wild, as are all cards of that rank. A queen as the last upcard makes queens wild. No exposed queen means no wilds.
Cards you use
Best five of seven, counting the current wild rank.
Ranking quirks
Standard high with wilds. Wilds can make five of a kind, which beats a straight flush at this table.
Betting streets

Each player is dealt 2 down cards. Each player is dealt 1 upcard. Then a betting round.

A short sample
Queen then nine
If a queen is followed by a nine, nines (and later that rank) are wild.
