Has anyone ever played "Follow the Queen"?

Its basically 7 card stud, but on the up turned cards, if a queen pops up the next players turned up card is Wild!....and if a second queen comes up during play, then the next up card in the new wild card and the old one is no longer wild~

Its a great game if you like wilds , which i do! lolll

That sounds like a challenging game. I guess it only works when a Q is flipped up on the board.

I remember my first years of playing cards, other than canasta at 12 years old, when we use to keep jokers in there and call jokers and deuces wild. That would be in 5 card draw and sometimes 7 card draw poker games.

Being teenagers, at times we would take turns calling which cards would be wild in the next hand. Most of the time the jokers would be taken out so we would have more wild cards. Other times just leave them in to have two extra wilds on top of the 8 that were already called. We had plenty of 5 of-a-kinds during those rounds.

It was fun to play those kind of games when you are just learning.

I guess a game can be a bit more challenging during a stud game and if there were only one card that came up to make the next one wild.
Lucky next person who follows the Q.

Follow the Queen used to be our Friday night groups favorite game! It has been a long while since we played those wild card games.

Man, it has been a long time since those days - your right fond memories.

Finally someone else who heard of follow the queen!! lollll...it was a great game, especially if someone else had a wild card or two, and in the last card two cards flipped were a queen and then a card you al ready had that becomes the wild card!!! the person who had the original wild card bet all kinds of money, just to lose the wild card at the last minute, lolll...time for a drink!
