As mentioned, seven-card stud is probably the most common form of the game, with most other games being variants of that, although five-card stud is also a basic pattern upon which many variations are built.

Most of the games described here started as ad-hoc variants, but they have either become popular enough to have a common name, or else have some unique feature to merit including them here.
