Apparatus, method, and system for card game with diagrammatic solutions for play outcomes

A computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions for causing a computing system to implement a card game, wherein the game comprises at least one offense card and at least one defense card, wherein each offense card and each defense card contains a plurality of lanes, wherein each offense card contains a play line positioned in a first lane, wherein each defense card contains a plurality of play paths, wherein each defense card contains a play outcome for each play path, wherein each play path on a defense card is positioned in a separate lane, and wherein the play line on an offense card corresponds to a play path in the corresponding lane on a defense card, the computer-readable instructions causing the computing system to:

• select an offense card based on user input;
• select a defense card based on user input;
• align the selected offense card with the selected defense card based on user input such that the play line aligns with the play path in the lane on the defense card that corresponds to the lane containing the play line on the offense card;
• and
• output the play outcome corresponding to the play path that is aligned with the play line.

A method for playing an electronic sports card game on a computing device, wherein the game comprises at least one offense card and at least one defense card, each offense card and each defense card contains a plurality of lanes, each offense card contains a play line positioned in a first lane, each defense card contains a number of play paths and a play outcome for each play path, each play path on a defense card is positioned in a separate lane, and the play line on an offense card corresponds to a play path in a corresponding lane on a defense card, the method comprising the steps of:

• selecting an offense card by the computing device;
• selecting a defense card by the computing device;
• and
• determining a play outcome from an offensive play from the selected offense card and a defensive play from the selected defense card by the computing device;
• wherein the offense card comprises one offensive play;
• wherein the defense card comprises a plurality of defensive plays;
• and
• wherein the offensive play corresponds to one of the defensive plays.

A system for playing an electronic sports card game on multiple devices, the system comprising:

• at least two computing devices each having a display;
• a connection between each computing device;
• at least one electronic offense card;
• at least one electronic defense card;
• wherein each computing device controls either an offense or a defense at any given time;
• wherein each electronic offense card and each electronic defense card contains a plurality of lanes;
• wherein each electronic offense card contains a play line positioned in a first lane;
• wherein each electronic defense card contains a plurality of play paths;
• wherein each electronic defense card contains a play outcome for each play path;
• wherein each play path on an electronic defense card is positioned in a separate lane;
• wherein the play line on an electronic offense card corresponds to a play path in the corresponding lane on an electronic defense card;
• and
• wherein the at least two computing devices determine and display a play outcome based on the play path in the lane on the defense card that corresponds to the lane containing the play line on the offense card.
