Abstract: The present invention provides a method of playing a card game using a deck of cards divided into a plurality of player-specific suits, wherein each card in a suit has an associated point-value. A different suit is assigned to each player. A player-specific card earns points for any player, but may earn more points if it belongs to a player's assigned suit. In some versions of the game, the game is complete after one hand. Preferably, however, ten hands are played but only the highest three hand scores of each player are considered. In this version, the player with the highest three hand scores is the winner, much like the scoring system used in surf, skate, and snowboard contests.
