ABSTRACT:
A card game apparatus12includes an image sensor54. The image sensor photographs a design (31: FIG.2) printed on a card30. A photographic signal from the image sensor is sampled by a game processor64, and is further re-sampled to form a photographic pixel data array. A ROM66is provided with a database (67A: FIG.7) which is assigned a comparison data array and a card ID for each entry. By searching the database based on the photographic pixel data array, the processor64obtains one card ID and displays card data of the card identified by the card ID on a television monitor.
