Abstract

A new game of cards (FIG. 1) (1) having a first playable side (5) containing a word, letter, symbol, or number that a player must alter in some manner, and a second playable side (6) that contains a symbolic instruction and at least one word, letter, symbol, or number from another group. A set of second playable sides (13) contains each unique symbolic instruction and opposes a set of first playable sides, each first playable side in the set having the same word, letter, symbol, or number and a point value. Each set of second playable sides are specifically designed to change a set of first playable sides contained on other cards. One or more players play the game of cards (1) using the second playable side of the card, which is grouped with other used cards during the round to become recycle cards (45) added to the bottom of the deck of cards (18) for use of the first playable side later in the game. Thus one or more players can play a game of cards (1) thereby causing the cards to randomize and recycle.
