cards (or as many as possible)  alternating  between  Red cards  (Hearts  and
Diamonds) and Black cards (Spades & Clubs). ACE cards are counted high.
Jokers are wild cards, as such, you may use a maximum of 4 only in your
entire submission. You are free to use them where you may. No pt loss at all.
