  • Patent number: 6050569

A deck of thirty-two cards where the deck consists of fifteen ranking pairs lettered A through 0 and two Jokers is used. All of the cards also have a point value, i.e., a numerical value. The letter ranking pairs are the highest hands except for the two Jokers, which are the highest when together and make 99. When the Jokers are together, each has a point value of nine, but when they are separate, each is wild and is to be used as either a six or a three, but has no letter value. Aside from the two Jokers and the fifteen ranking pairs, there are six other combinations better than a point value.
