Abstract: Card game components comprising a playing board (10), a series of program cards (24), and a set of input cards (34). Input cards (34) are randomly drawn from a draw pile area (12) and placed in a memory area (16) according to the order indicated on a program card (24) in the program card area (14). Input cards (34) not immediately playable are placed in a temporary storage area (18). Input cards (34) may be taken from the temporary storage area (18) as they become playable in any one of the four segments (20) of the memory area (16). The program card (24) contains four columns (30) of a series of characters (32) arranged in a non-repetitive sequence that is unique from other series on the card (24).
