Default Here are a few

Non-wild:

5/7/9- This is a high/low game. 5 card draw that becomes 7 card stud. first round, dump up to 3 cards to get up to 4 (drawing to 6 cards). Second round, dump 3 to get 4 to get 7 cards.
Now arrange them in order. Next 4 rounds, turn one card at a time and bet each time. Declare at the end, make a final bet.

Tree- Sort of a reverse Omaha. You are dealt 4-5 cards, you set up 7 pairs of board card in a tree pattern (trunk and canopy). Turn over two pairs on the canopy, bet. Turn over the other two pairs, bet. Now bets double and you turn over one pair on the "trunk" on each round.
You HAVE to use 3 cards from your hand and a pair on the board. High/low declare.

Double Diamond- Omaha/8 version. 4 cards to each player, 8 board cards (two diamond shapes touching at the side). Must use a row of 3 connecting cards and two from your hand. Turn over 3 cards, bet, 2 more cards, bet, then 1 card for three rounds. You can add a replace to this game.

Bingo- not a traditional type game. Each player gets X cards, until only around 11 cards are left. Player to dealer's left discards a rank- any matching cards are also discarded by all players. Each player does this once, with dealer going last (4 players, go around twice)
High/low game- cards are face value, with royalty worth 10 and Aces worth either 1 or 11 (or both if you're scooping)
Declare, bet and show cards. An ending (acquire or replace option) is good for this game.
