| 1. A deck of 104 game playing cards, each card comprising a front side of the card and a back side of the card, said back
side either containing a design or not containing a design, such that each of the 104 cards contains a back side which is
similar to each of the other 104 cards, such that said 104 cards cannot be distinguished by observing the back side of the
card, said front side of each card containing an indication of location, said indication of location being either top or bottom,
a quantity, said quantity being either 2-10, A, K, Q or J, and a suit, said suit being Spades, Hearts, Diamonds or Clubs,
such that
a first playing card of said 104 cards may be placed either on a playing game board or some other location adjacent to a second
playing card of said 104 playing cards, such that a combination of said first and second playing cards is similar to a playing
card in said standard deck of playing cards, but approximating twice the size of a playing card in a standard deck of playing
cards, and
when said first playing card is placed adjacent to said second playing card said combination will consist of the playing card
containing the top location indication on top of the playing card combination, and the bottom location indication on the bottom
of the playing card combination,
wherein a game may be played in which a player matches two of the 104 cards and a value is assigned to those two matched playing
cards, such that the value is the highest if the two matched cards contain the same quantity, and suit, the value is next
highest if the two matched cards contain the same quantity but different suit and the value is the lowest if the two matched
cards do not contain the same quantity or suit.
