Card game device

Abstract

A card game device is disclosed for use by a plurality of players in which the players endeavor to determine the title of a movie from a brief quote excerpt therefrom. The game device includes a plurality of ticket cards with each card of the plurality of ticket cards belonging to a category of a group of movie categories. A plurality of quote cards is provided with each quote card having a first and a second side. The first side of the quote card has the brief quote excerpt thereon, the brief quote excerpt belonging to one category of the group of movie categories. The quote cards firstly are shuffled with only the second side of the quote cards facing towards the players. Secondly, the shuffled quote cards are arranged in a stack with only the second side of the quote cards facing towards the players. The stack has a top and a bottom end so that the first side of the quote cards with quote excerpts thereon are hidden from the players. The arrangement is such that in playing the game, a quote card is taken from the top end of the stack of quote cards and the brief quote excerpt on the first side of the quote card is read therefrom. The first player who is able to determine the title of the movie from which the excerpt is taken then wins a ticket card taken from the category of the group of the movie categories corresponding to the title of the movie. The player who first wins a ticket card from each category of the groups of movie categories is a winner of the card game.
