       * **The Gooch**: A non-player controlled hand dealt into the middle each round, typically protected under some totem object. If someone gutses and nobody challenges, they must beat each stored gooch in order. If they fail to beat the first one, no winnings, and guts continues. If they fail to beat any subsequent one, they take half the pot, and guts continues. Guts ends when all gooches are defeated, then the whole pot is won.
       * **Gooch-zilla**  AKA **Super Gooch**: Same as the Gooch, but four cards instead of three.
+      * **Gooch of last resort**: In addition to the 3 card gooch as above, also deal a single non-renewing five-card gooch from a second deck. If a player beats all the regular gooches, they face that. It does not replenish.
       * **Coward tax**: If everyone passes, everyone shows, and whoever //would//  have won pays the tax, usually a quarter.
       * **Coward tariff**: If everyone passes, //everyone//  pays the tariff, usually a quarter.
+      * **"Challenge hands"**: To challenge, you must first be pressing your hands together as if in prayer. If you challenge without this, you owe a nickel (or another amount declared by the dealer).
 **Gruts**: Same as Guts, but you must say "gruts" instead of "guts" and "chawawenge" instead of "challenge". Violators of this rule pay a quarter per infraction. Intended to be played drunk.

+**Exclusive war**** dudes**. Seven card stud, dealt {1up+1down, 1 up, 1up+1down, 1 up, 1down}. Odd number of dudes (jacks and/or kings) kills you at showdown, even number takes all. Usually also played with deuces wild.

 **Pineapple**: same as Texas hold 'em, but you start with three cards, and discard one before the flop. This serves to increase regret/sorrow, but also gives a little extra information too.
