I've been reading this thread from day 1 and I have to say the fug is 
beginning to clear. It appears that what you are proposing is a 
'bottom-up' design process. I guess you expect and hope that 'Objects' 
will automagically appear when the time is right.

The original post is dated 16th Dec 2012 it is now the 20th and how much 
progress has been made.

I think the main problem is that that there is no clear statement of 
requirements.

I'll try to interpret the OPs slightly vague requirements to get 
something concrete down, this is obviously a first pass and will need 
work so comments welcome.

A system is required that will allow one or more players to play a game 
of cards. A game of cards consists of one or more packs of cards or a 
subset of one or more packs of cards (hereafter referred to as a deck) a 
set of rules, and one or more players. Users of the system will be able 
to choose from a selection of games and the system should be able to 
support new games as required.

I'll make a first pass top down analysis and suggest that Game, Card, 
Player, Pack, Rule and Deck might be useful abstractions.
