ABSTRACT:
Card games for two or more players using a deck of cards having a common theme are disclosed. Each card of the deck is printed on one side with a different image of a person or thing that is a member of a class of items related to the theme of the game. Players score by comparing cards from each player's hand and subjectively deciding which cards prevail in a round of cards. The decision as to the best card is determined by agreement of a majority of players. If a majority of players cannot agree, a neutral nonplayer may be consulted to subjectively decide the best card for a round. If a neutral nonplayer cannot decide or is not available, the players resort to an alternative basis for determining the winner of an undecided round. Additional aspects of game play may be decided by using textual information printed on the cards.
