A pinochle deck consists of two copies of each of the 9, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace cards of all four suits, for 48 cards per deck. Aces are always considered high. Pinochle follows a nonstandard card ordering. The complete ordering from highest to lowest is A, 10, K, Q, J, 9. [quoted from Wikipedia] Trying to generalize all card games with a single abstraction is probably a mistake. If you limit the card games to those with hands that use a bridge/poker deck, you probably want a unique ID for each card. Then the game class should implement a handValue(Set<Card>) method, which may return a set of HandValues (rather than a single value; it depends on the game I suppose). The implementation can map Cards to value(s) in a given game context. The error seems to be trying to put the valuation logic in the Card enum; the values don't seem to be static enough to me. -- Wayne
