Abstract: A method of playing an improved card game adapted for wagering by multiple players playing against a dealer. The improved card game provides for wagering on the occurrence of matches between one or more players and the dealer. At least one standard fifty-two card deck of cards is used, with the numerical cards being valued at their face value worth of points, an ace valued at either one or eleven points, and each of the face cards being valued at ten points. The object of the game is for each player to arrive at one or more direct or indirect matches with the dealer's card. Thus, winning hands are determined according to direct and indirect matches between a player's hand and the dealer's hand.
