Abstract

Abstract A novel, fast-moving, interesting, and easy-to-learn game based upon the probability of the occurrance of selected relationships between events randomly generated from sets of possible events. One embodiment is a card game utilizing a table surface having on it a plurality of defined player areas. A dealer using two or more decks of conventional playing cards, deals cards two at a time for each play. Each player attempts to predict the relationship which the two dealt cards will have. The dealer wins the play in the event the two dealt cards are identical, regardless of the accuracy of any player's prediction, otherwise the dealer determines which of the players have predicted accurately and then awards chips to each player who has made an accurate prediction and collects chips from players whose predictions were wrong.
