Abstract

A spelling poker card game includes a deck of cards and a plurality of tokens. The deck of cards are a set of poker cards that also include letters of an alphabet. A plurality of wild cards provide additional letters, such as vowels. Each player makes the strongest poker hand or longest word from his hand and indicates which type of hand he will play with a poker token and a word token. A player may play both a poker hand and a word hand at the same time. A point is awarded to the winner of each type of hand. If a player plays both a poker hand and a word hand at the same time and wins both hands, he is awarded four points. If that player fails to win both hands, he is penalized two points. The alphabet may be English or another alphabet.
