Abstract:
A method of playing a game of chance, comprising:providing a plurality of representations of cards, where each representation of a card has a face value selected from the group of face values consisting of Aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks, and a plurality of cards sequentially numbered from two to ten, where each representation of a card has subordinate characteristics consisting of suits and point values, where the point value of each representation of a card is eleven if the face value is Ace, ten if the face value is one of King, Queen, and Jack, and equal to the face value if the face value is a number; randomly distributing the cards in at least one set comprising four of the representations of cards, the set being associated with at least at least one player; wherein establishing predetermined minimum requirements for adding the point values of subsets of representations of cards in sets, where the predetermined minimum requirements include the face values of the representations of the cards in the subset match, and the suit of the representations of the cards in the subset match; and calculating a total value of the set by summing the point values of a subset of the representations of cards in the set meeting predetermined minimum requirements, where the subset includes up to and including four of the representations of cards in the set, and the total value includes the sum of point values of the subset of representations of cards in the set; determining whether a set is a winning set based on the total value of the set being higher than a given value.
