Abstract
A method of playing a card game in which desired cards are selected by players. Cards are first read and stored. Players select cards and then cards corresponding to the selected cards are delivered to each player. Selecting and delivering of cards is repeated until each player has a predetermined number of cards. The outcome of the game is then determined. Each card is marked with machine readable indicia so that players may receive cards corresponding to their selection. Null cards having no value in determining the outcome may be used and are deliverd when players select the same card, select a card previously dealt or delivered, or do not select within a time limit. Poker rules may be used to determine the outcome.
