Abstract:

A card game titled Ship, Captain & Crew is played with a minimum of two players and a maximum of four players. It is for children that are four years or older, and contains four specifically designed decks of cards with a different background patina consisting of my chosen colors of: turquoise blue, luminous yellow, iridescent orange, and lime green. All graphics and numerals are printed in black color on the individual card and each deck contains 20 cards: one graphic ship card, one graphic captain card, 12 graphic crew cards numbered 1 through 12, and six zero cards. The marketed game will contain a total of 80 cards. The first player to accumulate one ship card, one captain card, and the highest numeric crew card becomes the winner of that round. An accumulated total of 50 points (or optional limit) is required to become the winner of the entire game. Young children will improve their skills in arithmetic without the use of a calculator or computer. With this card game, only a piece of paper and a pencil is needed to play.
