Abstract
A method of playing a card game. The object of the card game is that each player must achieve a preset minimum point value with a hand of three cards and beat the hand of a dealer. To achieve the minimum point value, the cards of the hand are added together and must be of the same suit. The exception to the rule is that all three (3) of a kind hands can be counted for points and always equals the point value of thirty and one-half (30½) points. In the card game, a hand of an Ace, King and Queen of the same suit equals a point value of thirty-one (31).
