description Elevator Overview
Elevator is a shared-card poker variant documented among private, home-game poker forms. Players receive four private cards and seven community cards laid out in a pattern with a designated elevator card; the board cards are exposed over successive betting rounds. At showdown, each player chooses the elevator's position and uses it with a straight-line set of board cards and the private cards to form a high hand, a low hand, or both. Some rules make the elevator wild.
