Ace of Jets

I'm always encouraging Daddy to come up with new card games. Yesterday, while he was cleaning his office, he ran across a deck of British Airways playing cards with pictures on them and devised a really interesting game. Here's how it goes:

On each of the cards is the usual rank and suit, but also a picture of an airplane flown by BA at some point in its history. Instead of using the regular suits, we use the form of the airplane as the suit. There are three types: biplanes, prop-driven monoplanes, and jets. So an 8 with a picture of a jet on it becomes and 8 of jets. Each player gets seven cards. The youngest player leads the first card. The other player then has to play a card that either matches the "suit" or the rank of the card led. Failing this, the other player has to draw cards until he gets a playable card. High rank of the led suit takes the trick. first player to get rid of all of his cards wins.

One odd little feature of this game is that there's one card that has a picture of a helicopter. Since there's only one helicopter, I decided that we needed to remove this card from the deck because it is too powerful.
