This member of the Spit-in-the-Ocean family is the same game as Cincinnati except that only four cards are dealt face down to each player and only four cards are dealt to the widow. The cards in the widow are exposed one at a time, with a betting round after each one. In the showdown, each player may select any five cards from among his four and the four in the widow. With eight cards to choose from, it usually takes a straight to win. Remember, though, that strong cards in the widow are shared by everyone.
