ABSTRACT:
An improved card game is provided. In particular, the present invention relates to a modification and improvement to card games where a player tries to reach one or more specified card count target values without exceeding the stated target value, such as the well-known card game of blackjack or 21. A player is dealt first and second cards after placing an original bet, and then elects to stand or take an additional third card. If a third card is taken, the player is given the option of keeping the card, or replacing the card. If the third card is replaced, an additional wager is placed by the player, and a replacement to the third card is given. The player then elects to stand or take additional cards. After the player has taken all desired cards, the dealer's hand and player's hand are compared to determine a winner.
