Abstract

A card-based game system, and associated method of play, includes a package, and a first set of cards and a second set of cards contained in the package. The first set of cards are prize cards having prize indicia indicating a prize award assigned to the prize card, the prize indicia covered by a removable covering. The second set of cards are command cards, each command card having instructions to players to perform an act that results in a gain or loss of a prize card. A sufficient number of the prize cards and command cards are provided for play of a game wherein a plurality of the prize cards are distributed to each player and a plurality of the prize cards remain as common cards. Upon completion of the game, each player removes the covering on their prize cards to reveal the prize award assigned to the prize card.
