Abstract:

Card game and method using a standard deck, and is played by a dealer and at least one player. Each hand includes dealing face-down three cards to the dealer, dealing face-down two cards to each player, permitting each player to view only a first dealt card, and requiring each player to make a decision about selection of a playing card after viewing the first dealt card which could be to stay with the first card which would thus constitute the player's playing card or to pass the first card and view the second card which would then constitute the player's playing card. Thereafter, all of the dealer's cards are uncovered and one of the dealer's cards is selected as the dealer's playing card, the assigned card being the one having the best value to achieve an objective of the game and method. Each player's playing card is revealed and compared to the dealer's playing card. A winner of the hand is determined based on the comparison.
