From BoardGameGeek

Fairmarket is a gambling game for 2-6 players. The game uses the “Knotts Deck,” a unique deck from DeVere's South Coast, in the Dew Point universe. The deck has three suits (flags, cups, and bells), and an unusual distribution of numbers: Ace through 9, then 10 through 60, and three face cards. Players ante five coins to begin, and divide these coins into five pots in the center of the table. Players then receive five cards and stack them in order on the table. Round by round, players cards compete against each other, and cards in the center, to win the money in those pots. It's a simple and fast card game with lots of variations and plenty of action!
