DEFINITION

Classification: 273/292

CARD OR TILE GAMES, CARDS OR TILES THEREFOR:

(under the class definition) Games or game structure in which contest elements having playing indicia located thereon (e.g., cards, dominoes) are intended to interact with each other in a competitive and amusing contest of skill or chance between two or more participants, and the results of the contest can be indicated according to definite rules.

(1) Note. Contest elements which are disclosed as being used in a card or tile game, but are claimed, per se, are classified in this subclass and the indented subclasses.

(2) Note. The contest elements are not considered to interact in a contest if they are intended to serve only a supplementary contest function (e.g., scoring, accessory means).

(3) Note. Games which only measure the physical speed or dexterity with which a participant can accomplish a certain task relative to another participant or to be fixed standard, and do not involve any strategic or chance controlled interaction between contest elements are not considered proper for this subclass and are found in subclasses 440+.
