  • Patent number: 6536769
    Abstract: A card game and the method of playing the game are carried out by providing 44 decks stripped of all cards except aces, deuces and treys. A selected dealer deals three cards to each player, face down, and the player may replace one of the cards after review. Betting units are awarded for three of a kind, suited or non-suited, and suited in sequential order. Players who do not have the requisite cards for such an award may remain in the game and the dealer turns over an action card, three times in a row, if necessary. Each player who has remained in the game may discard a matching card or cards and when a player discards all of his cards, he is declared the winner and entitled to the proceeds in a wager pot in which betting units have been accumulated at various stages of the game.
