Claims11
A method of playing a card game wherein the object is to accumulate three cards whose values add up to 21, comprising the steps of:
- a) dealing a playing card from a deck of playing cards to a player;
- b) placing said playing card in one of nine locations, said one of nine locations being determined by a three by three array;
- c) dealing another playing card to said player;
- d) placing said another playing card into a remaining location of said nine locations, said remaining location being decided by the chance that the addition of the values of the playing cards in the rows, columns or diagonals once the three by three array is completed, will add up to 21;
- e) repeating steps c) and d) until there are no locations without playing cards.
A deck of playing cards comprising a multiple number of playing cards, each card having a front side of the card and a back side of the card, said back side either containing a design or not containing a design, such that each of the multiple number of cards contains a back side which is similar to each of the other multiple number of cards, such that said multiple number of cards cannot be distinguished from the others by observing the back side of the card, said front side of each of said multiple number of playing cards contains a number, an indication of color, an indication of odd or even, and an indication of group, wherein said number is between one and 36.
