Five-card stud was a playing card game and a variation of poker.
The crew of the USS Enterprise-D often played five-card stud. Jean-Luc Picard chose it in 2370. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man", "The Best of Both Worlds", "All Good Things...")
After Quark got tired of playing Go Fish with Vic Fontaine in 2375, the hologram suggested playing five-card stud, as well as canasta, rummy and gin rummy. However, Quark did not want to play any of them, as he was worried about Nog and Deep Space 9's other "heroic idiots", who were fighting in the last battle of the war. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
