Abstract
The invention relates to a method for playing a card game using a grid in which game pieces are placed in a grid configuration. Hands are selected from the game pieces. A value is determined from the selected hand. For example, the grid configuration can include a triangular grid configuration, square grid configuration, outer square grid configuration, right angle triangular grid configuration, diamond grid configuration or stacked grid configuration. In one embodiment, a hand can be selected from three game pieces having each of the game pieces adjacent to another game piece. In one embodiment, the grid configuration is determined during play by one or more players adding game pieces to an initial grid configuration. Play against more than one player can continue in a survivor fashion with the loser's hand leaving the game on each round until only one player remains. A betting board can be used with the game.
