ABSTRACT:
A set of game tiles, each game tile having a like back and a face (30). On a face (10), each game tile carries a suit indicia (32) and a rank indicia (34). The suit and rank indicia are color coded or a combination of color and letter or number codes. Optionally, a tile value indicia (44) appears centrally on the face. Each of the tiles has a pair of wings (12, 14) that extend upward from the base with an angle (20) between their central axes. The angle between the central axes is less than 180.degree. are preferably greater than 90.degree. such that the tiles have handedness, i.e., unique left and right sides. In this manner, even when the rank and suit indicia are color coded with like colors, the rank and suit indicia can still be differentiated. Preferably, the tiles are relatively thick so that the tiles can be stood vertically on the base (10).
