Abstract:

A method of playing a card game is provided that includes providing a deck of playing cards and dealing a hand of cards to each player on each team. Each player is allowed to draw a card from a face-up discard pile or from a face-down set of cards, lay down a predetermined set of cards, and discard a card from the player's hand. Each round is ended when a player has no cards remaining in his hand, at which time each team's score for the round is determined. Each set of cards required to be laid down to end the game is predetermined, with each team having differing sets of cards required to be laid down to end the game. The game is ended when a team has laid down each predetermined set of cards required to be laid down to end the game, at which time the winning team is determined by the team with the highest score. Each team's score is determined by granting a pre-selected point value to a team's score for each set of cards laid down by each player on that team during each round, subtracting a pre-selected point value from each team's score for certain pre-selected cards remaining in each player's hand on that team at the end of each round, and subtracting a pre-selected point value from each team's score for certain pre-selected cards laid down by each player on another team during each round.
