Abstract: A deck of cards is adapted to enable all ages to play a game (of many games) which is of interest to them. Each of 104 cards in a deck of cards has an alphabetical letter and a numerical value along with a cartoon which begins with a phoneme that corresponds to the letter so that the cards may be used as flash cards to teach the alphabet to small children. Some games require only a matching to two alphabetical characters. Other games are designed to permit players with low scores to "gang-up" on players with high scores. Still other games fit between these extremes to challenge the players skills and to provide games of interest to various age groups.
