It's a fairly popular game, and rules variations are extremely common in card games and shouldn't be a strike against having a page for them.  As for the content, I think rules of card games (of the sort that are played with a standard deck of cards) shouldn't really be considered a violation of .  Explaining how to play Contract bridge|bridge or blackjack isn't a "game guide" in the same way that an explanation of where to jump to get star 1-6 in Super Mario 64 is.  Of course we should strive to have card game articles be more than just the rules, but such an article would seem woefully lacking without at least a brief overview of how the game is played
