ABSTRACT:
A card game for play by a plurality of players in which players play groups of cards that include one or more cards. The card game includes a set of first cards, in which each card has first designating indicia on one face for designating a hierarchical ranking of the cards in each set relative to the other sets of cards and second designating indicia on the one face for designating, as between groups of cards having the same first designating indicia, the higher ranking played group. The deck of cards also includes four additional cards, each of which has first designating indicia on one face for designating the hierarchal rank of those cards relative to the sets of first cards. According to the method of play, the cards are dealt to the players and the first player plays one or more cards within certain defined categories of cards. Each subsequent player must then play a card or cards of higher rank within the category that was led. Players continue to play cards until one player depletes his hand of cards, whereby that player is declared the winner of that hand. In the next hand, the loser of the previous hand must give his highest ranking card to the winner of the previous hand while the winner gives any card of his choice to the loser.
