Credit card debt management card game

Abstract

A game comprising a set of cards for teaching credit card debt management. The set of cards carry indicia thereon to signify that they are either credit card debt or cash. Players are dealt seven cards each, and then in turn draw from either the remaining cards in the deck or the card that is on the top of the discard pile, if there is one. The drawn card may then be substituted for a card in the player's hand. The player completes his/her turn by discarding a card to maintain seven cards in hand. The game is won by accumulating one credit card debt card and six cash cards, wherein the cash cards add up to the same, or greater than, the credit card debt card amount, within a grace range, such as, for exemplary purposes only, $200.00.
