  • Publication number: 20130029754
    Abstract: Each player receives a play deck of cards from 1 to a first number and a guess deck of cards from 1 to the first number times the number of players. Each player selects a guess card representing each player's guess of the hand total. Play proceeds with each player revealing a play card and adding numerical values of revealed play cards to obtain a hand total when all have revealed a play card. The player whose guess card equals the hand total wins the hand. Alternatively, a player whose guess card is closest to without exceeding the hand total can win.
