ABSTRACT:
A method of scoring card games wherein digital numbers within a predetermined set or range which is not needed in scoring the particular game is reserved for player identification. In performing the method of the invention it is preferred to utilize a special purpose computer contained in a small carrying case, which has an operating keyboard and a visually activated scoreboard in side-by-side relation to the keyboard. The carrying case preferably has a hinged lid which is spring-loaded to normally remain in open position, operating instructions written on the inner side of the lid, and a latch for holding the lid closed. In operating the apparatus, a WE or THEY key is depressed before making player assignments by number. Scores subsequently recorded and visually displayed for each team are also stored in electronic memory for each individual player. Players change teams from one game to the next, but at the end of the play a total score for each individual player is produced in association with the identifying digital number that had been assigned to him.
