Gami: Four
This is a card game for two players. The cards used are Ace, Two, Three and Four of Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades. All the cards are face-up throughout the game. Initially, all the cards are in a group at the center of the table.
The combinations of cards that count as a valid Gami are as follows:
All four cards of a suit;
All four cards of a rank;
Ace of hearts, Two of clubs, Three of diamonds and Four of spades;
Two of hearts, Three of clubs and Four of diamonds;
Ace of clubs, Two of diamonds and Three of spades;
Ace of spades, Two of diamonds, Three of clubs and Four of hearts;
Two of spades, Three of diamonds and Four of clubs;
Ace of diamonds, Two of clubs and Three of hearts.
During Phase 1 of the game, the players take turns picking a card from the table. This continues until some player's cards include a Gami or each player has five cards. A player who forms a Gami has won the game.
If nobody won during Phase 1, the game continues with Phase 2. In this phase, the players take turns swapping a card from the player's hand for one from the table. A player can swap a card for another of the same suit that is one higher or one lower in rank. Also, a player can swap a card for another of the same rank and of the other color. A heart cannot be swapped for a spade, and a spade cannot be swapped for a heart, however. The first player to form a Gami wins the game. Also, a player who is unable to play a valid swap has lost.

Gami: Seven
This card game is a hybrid of Gami and Stockade. The cards used are Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five and Six of Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs. All cards are face-up throughout the game. Initially, all the cards are in a group on the table. The combinations of cards that count as a Gami are:
Ace, Two, Three, all of the same suit;
Three, Four, Five, all of the same suit;
Five, Six, Ace, all of the same suit;
Twos of Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs;
Fours of Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs;
Sixes of Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs.
In Phase 1 of the game, the two players take turns picking a card from the table. If the card picked up forms a new Gami with the ones already in the player's hand, the player takes a card from his opponent's hand, and returns it to the table. Phase 1 continues until each player has picked seven cards; a player might have fewer than seven cards at this point, however.
In Phase 2, the players take turns swapping a card from the hand for one on the table. Valid swaps are as follows: any card can be swapped for another of the same suit that's one higher or lower; an Ace can be swapped for the Six of the same suit; a Six can be swapped for the Ace of the same suit; any card of even rank can be swapped for a card of the same rank but of the other color. A player who forms a new Gami by swapping takes a card from his opponent's hand, and adds it to his own hand.
A player who is not able to play a valid swap has lost the game. Also, a player who only has two cards has lost.
Ace, Two, Three, all of the same suit;

Five, Six, Ace, all of the same suit;
