Card Game and Method of Playing

Abstract

A card game including a specialized deck of numbered and specialty playing cards and a passing trophy are disclosed. Each player is dealt cards until no cards remain. After one player discards one or more cards into a play pile, the players take a turn, each turn requiring a player to discard a card that is equal to or greater than the numerical value of a previously played card. A player can play up to four identical cards in a single turn, at which point the play pile is eliminated. If the player does not possess a card that is equal to or greater than the previously played card, the player must add the play pile to his or her hand. Alternatively, the player can discard a specialty card. The last player to have cards in his or her hand is identified as the losing player and receives the trophy.
