Five Crowns (game)
For the theological concept, see Five Crowns.
Five Crowns is a five-suited rummy-style card game that is played with an extra suit. The deck has no aces or 2s and there are two of every card which increases the players' ability to go out quickly by grouping their cards into books and runs. For each round, the wild card and the number of cards dealt changes, from 3 to 13. The game was created by Set Enterprises in 1996.
