(a) playing a number of rounds each comprising:
(i) having a respective hand of cards dealt to each competing player from a deck of cards having a plurality of suits each having a plurality of ranked cards, and at least one non-suited card that outranks each ranked card of each suit;(ii) having each player estimate a number of tricks to be taken by playing of said player's respective hand of cards against the respective hand of cards of each other player, and recording said estimated number of tricks for each player;(iii) playing a number of tricks equal to the number of cards dealt for each hand, each trick involving the players sequentially discarding one card each for comparison of the rank of said discarded cards to determine a taker of said trick as being the player who discarded the highest ranking card in said trick; and(iv) after completion of said number of tricks, comparing a number of tricks taken by each player against said player's estimated number of tricks, and adding an imaginary inheritance payout to an imaginary financial status for each player whose number of tricks taken matches said player's estimated number of tricks; and (b) comparing the imaginary financial status of the players against one another to determine a winner of the game as being the player having the greatest imaginary financial status. |
