Stream of Consciousness Sevens is a card game.

It is Exactly like normal sevens except with one slight difference.

In normal sevens, you deal out all the cards (jokers discarded naturally).

The player who has the Seven of Diamonds starts by laying this card in the centre of the table.
The next player (to the left) must lay a card down if they can. They need either the 6 or the 8 of Diamonds, or another seven.
Play continues in this fashion with each player laying a card either directly above or below any of those on the table.

If a player cannot go, they foreit their turn.

The winner is the player who runs out of cards first.

Obviously, various strategies are employed. For example: If a player has a seven in their hand, but also has the 9,10,Jack, and Queen of clubs and the 8 of clubs is already on the table, if they start laying clubs, they will have plenty of goes while holding up all those who were waiting for the new Seven

Stream of Consciousness Sevens is identical to this EXCEPT in one important respect.

It is designed primarily as a way to calm down after a game of Surreality Rules BlackJack and so is non competitive.

Instead of taking it in turns in a rigid, regimented rule following fashion, each player reaches down into their inner selves and feels the ebb and flow of the Universe. Then they lay their cards (obeying the rules of the game still of course) when they feel that the moment is right.

The players all feel the warm satisfaction of seeing this pattern emerge on the table, guided by their own inner senses.
It also gets the cards sorted back out as well.

I have known a game of this to last for well over five minutes before someone finally laid the Seven of Diamonds.
