ABSTRACT:
A card game utilizes one or more modified decks of standard playing cards by eliminating the eights, nines and tens. The remaining spot cards (ace through seven) are valued at face value, while the face or court cards (kings, queens and jacks) are valued at one half point each. The object of the game is to draw a hand totaling seven and one half points, without exceeding that total. Various options are provided, including "splitting pairs," in which two equal value cards may be split into two hands at the beginning of play where the point values for the first card and the subsequent card are each less than four; "doubling down," in which a player may double the wager and receive one further card: or "surrendering," where a player may give up a portion of the wager at the beginning of play. Wagers are returned to the player in the case of ties, rather than going to the dealer. The game is adaptable to casino play, electronic or computer play, and also to private play by individuals. A playing surface adapted specifically for the play of the present game is also provided.
