Card game variant

Abstract

There is disclosed an aggregation of cards. The aggregation may have at least one card deck, a first quantity of first species wild card, and a second quantity of second species wild card. Each card deck may have a plurality of cards having respective fixed values. Each first species wild card may have a value selectable within a first set of values. The first set of values has less than all of the respective fixed values. Each second species wild card may have a value selectable within a second set of values. The second set of values is not identical to the first set of values. The second quantity is different than the first quantity.
