    Abstract: A card game of the modified pseudo-blackjack type in which the point value of each Joker is 2 or 12, the point value of each Ace is 1 or 11, a natural is any pair of cards the total point value of which is 22, and a pair of Aces outranks any other hand. A hand ranking chart of this game is shown in FIG. 2, and another hand ranking chart of this game is shown in FIG. 3.
