Abstract
A method of playing a computer game and the game itself, using a computer and a plurality of collectible trading cards that each has a unique code that is hidden under a removable coating. The game may be played by removing the coating from one of the trading cards and inputting the unique code on that card into a computer program or web site. The unique code may be linked with an associated computer output such as a web page within the web site. Inputting of the unique code renders the unique code inoperable for subsequent use by the computer program.
