Abstract

The present invention relates to educational and entertaining playing cards. The cards may be used alone or in combination with other hardware game accessories, such as board games, or software game accessories, such as compact discs and the Internet. Unlike other popular and heavily traded playing cards (e.g. Pokemon) which have limited social and educational value, an educational element has been added to the cards of the present invention without destroying the fun associated with the collecting, trading, and playing of the cards. Educational facts and information about a variety of topics are located on the playing cards, which may be used to play various games. Two different types of game cards are contemplated by the present invention: (1) standard cards and (2) fact cards. The present invention, however, is in no way limited to only these two types of game cards.
