"Hi, this is Antonia Hoyland, on behalf of Expert Village. This game is called 10-20-30. Start with a regular deck of cards, no jokers. In this game, only the values of the cards are considered, not the suites. The values run as follows: ace is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten are all what you'd expect them to be, and jacks, queens, and kings, the face cards, are ten points apiece. Deal the cards in a row from left to right. It really doesn't matter how you do it, because this is such a fast-paced game. The purpose of the game is to eliminate cards that equal exactly 10, 20, or 30 in groups of two or more each. Therefore, you could eliminate a queen and a king together to make 20, or you could eliminate a jack, a queen, and king to eliminate 30. You could also put together, maybe, a two, eight, and a ten, to make 20, or a nine, seven, and a four. The deal is a easy, and as the title implies, 10-20-30, there's not a whole bunch of details involved in this game. Just get it done, and if you fail, just do it again."
