It’s all in the cards

1. It’s all in the cards Levels and rules

2. General Rules of the Game • Get into groups of 3 and decide who will be dealer, decision maker and scorekeeper for your group. • Remove all aces, kings, queens and jacks from the deck • The dealer and decision maker will play against each other • The dealer deals a card to each player; the decision maker decides who wins that hand; and the score is recorded by the scorekeeper. Play continues in this manner until all cards are dealt. • The scorekeeper declares a winner • Everyone switches roles to play again. Once everyone has assumed all three roles, the group determines the overall winner.
