Abstract

A deck of playing cards includes a plurality of main cards having an identical rear face. Each main card has a front face indicating a card value, a suit, a point value, and one of a plurality of territorial regions. The territorial regions may include the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and overseas territories. The combination of card value and suit uniquely identifies each main card. The territorial region also uniquely identifies each main card. The point value may equal the number of electoral-college votes either cast by, or allocated to, the territorial region when the territorial region is one of the fifty states or the District of Columbia. Each card may also indicate on its front face information about the territorial region, such as an insignia, flag, motto, or nickname. Two games that may be played with the deck are White House and Statehood.
