DBGames1 is an Indian website though I am not entirely sure what it is about. It seems to be money related and multilevel marketing related.

Be careful about using DBGames1 because there are quite a few sites that intimate that it might be a scam.

So there you’ve got it. Those are all the different Red 7 Games. Now, on to my original post.

When was the last time you were stark raving mad about a game?

Not a digital game on your phone or computer, but an offline IRL game like the ones we used to play as kids (for those of us old enough to remember a time when children played non-digital games 😛 )?

For me, it had been a long long time, until I came across a card game last year, the Red Seven card game, which is what I’d like to tell you about today.

How Did I First Come Across the Red 7 Card Games?

On a lazy Sunday in Kampala last year, I went to visit my cousins as  I usually like to do.

As soon as I walked through the door, one of my cousins said, “Biche, I’ve got to teach you how to play this game!”

I could see she wanted to teach me a card game because she had a deck of cards in her hands.

Although I’m not a big fan of games, except for Scrabble and Monopoly, I decided to humour her.

My cousin explained to me that we were going to play a card game called Red7.

Although it’s a card game, I could see we weren’t going to play with a standard deck of cards.

Instead, the Red Seven card game has special cards made specifically for the game, sort of like Uno (remember that?). I could see that the cards in my cousin’s hands had numbers, colors and words written along the side.

My cousin began to explain the card game rules to me.

She began to say something complicated about how certain colors trumped others and that there were cards to be held in your hands and others to be placed in front of you.

She also mentioned something about being able to change the rules of the game and making sure you were always winning at the end of your turn. Sounds confusing? It sure did to me.

I stopped my cousin mid-explanation and told her that I simply couldn’t understand what she was telling me.

Instead, I suggested that we begin to play the game and then she could explain as we went along.

  1. Biche dear,

    I am not a big fan of card games. Like you, scrabble and monopoly were more my thing . and still are! But I am now so intrigued by Red7 that I am just going to try to get my head around it…

    But the next time I am in your neck of the woods, we have to have a game of good ol monopoly!

    1. Hi Emem,

      Since I think this is your first comment on my blog, allow me to officially say: welcome to Chick About Town! Thanks for leaving me a comment. 🙂

      A good game of Monopoly is a plan! It’s a date for whenever we are in the same part of the world. Do check out Red7, though, if ever you get a chance. It’s A LOT of fun! 🙂
