Abstract
A method of playing a card game is provided where a player sequentially builds at least two card hands that intersect with each other in at least one card. The at least two card hands define a pattern. The method includes the steps of dealing at least one card to the player, placing the at least one card in an empty place in the pattern until the player has placed a predetermined number of cards that comprise the at least two card hands defining the pattern. The method also includes the steps of comparing individual hands in the at least two card hands to corresponding values in a predetermined winning schedule, totaling the values into a total value, and awarding the player and/or declaring the player a winner, responsive to the total value.
