  • Patent number: 5782473
    Abstract: A method of playing a Big Ten card game which is operated between at least two players and is a five-card game with at least one deck of conventional 52 cards which includes four sets of cards. Each of the set of cards includes nine numerical value cards from 2 to 10, a Jack, a Queen, a King and an Ace. In this game, the Ace can be recognized or counted as either one or ten points, whereby the Jack, Queen and King are individually counted as ten points. To start, each player is dealt five cards each. After determining the points perceived on hand, each player must show three cards from his hand which add up to either ten, twenty, or thirty to continue playing the game. If a player cannot successfully do that, he is "disqualified" and must leave the game and wait for the next round.
