  • Patent number: 4807885
    Abstract: The present invention entails a card game comprising a deck of cards having a series of cards with numerical values and a plurality of special or wild cards. A selected value, for example, "ninety-nine" is chosen and forms a main or central part of the game. In playing the game, players in turn discard one card at a time. As the cards are discarded the cumulative value of the respective cards are continually added by the players. Once the cumulative value of the discarded cards approach the chosen value, "ninety-nine" in the example being discussed, no player may discard a numerical value card that would cause the cumulative value to exceed "ninety-nine". However, the special or wild cards may be played at any time. The object of the game is to always have a "play". When a player does not have a "play" he or she is required to leave the game. The last remaining player is declared the winner.
