ABSTRACT:
A method for distributing game tokens, such as playing cards, in a game which includes the distribution of game tokens to n players (P1, P2, . . . Pn), includes the steps of: (a) obtaining from each player Pia first unit Ai, wherein each Aiis chosen from a finite set of discrete candidate first units; (b) obtaining from each player Pia second unit Bi, wherein each Biis chosen from a finite set of discrete candidate second units; (c) deriving a third unit C using a predetermined algorithm where C=f(B1, . . . , Bn); (d) assigning a previously unassigned game token Gito each player from a predetermined algorithm where Gi=f(Ai, C); and (e) repeating steps (a)-(d) until a predetermined number of game tokens cards are distributed to each player.
