I count cards. Rather I remember cards. It helps me when I'm playing Black Jack or canasta, but it is useless for Card King. Card King is a game of chance. You only need luck to win.
If you can't remember cards, you can use a real deck of cards. Share cards by numbers and when they pulled out a card, you ejected that card from the deck. So you are going to see how much higher and much lower cards you have. If it is the same number or have a bad feeling - used PASS.
