Abstract: A video card game for a plurality of players comprises a common interface and a plurality of private interfaces. The common interface is viewable by all the players and displays a plurality of computer avatars, each corresponding to a given payer and holding a respective hand of cards corresponding to a hand ranking. Each private interface displays one given hand of cards of one given avatar. The players selectively replace one card or more of their respective hand to modify their ranking. A given player's hand is selectively displayed on the common interface to allow all the players to assess the ranking of this player. A video card game also comprises a controller for each player for selectively controlling their respective avatar and a social meter for modulating the behavior indicators of their avatar which are displayed by the common interface so as to be viewable by all the players.
