Abstract
A card game that includes both wild and skip card features has a predetermined number of cards designated for use as dual-function wild/skip cards. At the option of the card holder at his playing turn, such a dual-function card may be selectively used either as a wild card for melding purposes or as a penalty-imposing card to cause an opponent to whom the card is given to be skipped, i.e., to lose his or her next playing turn or to receive some other comparable or additional penalty.
