Abstract

A method of playing a card game includes the steps of providing a card deck that includes cards having song titles and clues that enable players to guess the song titles, selecting clue givers for giving clues to players to enable them to guess the songs on the cards, awarding points to players correctly guessing song titles, and completing the game when a player receives a predetermined number of points. In alternative embodiments, the card game method may include the use of a single clue giver and players may be grouped into teams rather than playing as individuals.
