Abstract
A game of skill and chance in which a deck of 34 cards comprising 10 numeric pairs of yellow designed cards, 10--10 through 1--1, and 7 numeric pairs of blue designed cards, 7--7 through 1--1, is used. The highest ranking hand is a specially marked non-numeric yellow pair, followed by yellow numeric pairs 10--10 through 1--1, blue pairs 7--7 through 1--1, and numeric combinations of any color. Each player is dealt a set of 4 cards which the player arranges into subsets of 2 cards each. These hands or subsets are denoted as the front and back hands respectively. The subsets of each player are compared, in turn, front hand to front hand and back hand to back hand, to the corresponding hands of a banker/player. The combined outcome of the comparisons determines the outcome of the round of play as between that player and the banker/player.
