Abstract
A perpetual seal card game in which players purchase individual play cards and reveal indicia covered by removable covers. Indicia on the individual play cards indicate whether the player is an instant winner, continues playing as a challenging player or has lost the game. If the player is an instant winner, he receives a prize and is finished playing the game. If the player is a challenging player, he has an opportunity to challenge the prior game's winner. The challenging players identify themselves on a seal card containing a challenging player identification area and predetermined challenger indicia concealed by a removable cover. Once all of the challenging players have identified themselves, the predetermined challenger indicia is disclosed identifying the player who will challenge the prior game's winner. A second seal card, containing concealed indicia identifying the winner of the game, is used to determine the winner of the game. The cover concealing one of the indicia from the second seal card is removed to disclose the winner of the game. The winner of the game is automatically entered to play the next subsequent game without having to purchase an individual play card.
