(b) dealing a number of cards as a hand from said deck to each player of at least three players, leaving remaining cards;
(c) placing said remaining cards from said deck of cards face down between said at least three players;
(d) turning face up a top card from said remaining cards;
(e) by a first player of said at least three players, laying down one card selected from said hand of said first player;

(g) by said first player, passing play to another player only if after said rolling step, the top face of said die is not valued more than said top card;
(h) by said first player, taking a card from said remaining cards for said hand to replace said one card;

Abstract
A game and method for playing same is based on a deck of cards, each card of which uses an icon to represent one element of a transcendental set of elements. Preferably there are three elements in the transcendental set of elements, each one having a value higher than that of one other element of said set and having a value lower than that of the remaining element. Each card also includes a key or transcendental set rule, or portion thereof, so that the players are reminded of which element beats which other element, and an additional statement that relates to the element and provides a fact, tip or recommendation of interest to the player. Several different card games can be played with the deck, including the well-known rock-paper-scissor type of game played traditionally with hand signals, but here with cards.
