ABSTRACT:
A deck of cards, comprising at least one set of twenty six cards. Each of the set of cards has two different letters of the alphabet displayed thereon to form thirteen subsets of two cards having the same two different letters thereon. Each card in the thirteen card subset has a picture of one object of a selected group of objects displayed thereon. The displayed object has a name in which the first letter is the same as one of the letters displayed on one of the pair in the subset and not the other of the letters on the pair. In a preferred embodiment, the two different letters are consecutive letters of the alphabet so that the totality of the thirteen subsets has all of the letters of the alphabet displayed in pairs of two letters each. In one embodiment, each letter is displayed in upper case in one location and lower case in another location on its respective card. The selected objects may be divided into four different groups of objects, such as animals, mechanical objects, foods and amusement devices. In one embodiment, the deck comprises two sets of twenty six cards to form a large set of 52 cards, the 52 cards being colored with 13 different colors to produce 13 color sets of 4 cards each. In an alphabet having n number of letters, the deck of cards comprises at least a set of n/2 cards each having two different letters of the chosen alphabet displayed thereon to form n/2 subsets of two cards having the same two different letters thereon. If the number n of letters in the chosen alphabet is an odd number, one of the cards has but one letter thereon.
