I’m open to suggestions for how to eliminate the duplication; arrays don’t implement IList and ILists aren’t arrays, so you have to use separate code even though it looks exactly the same.

This makes sense, however it seems the code is duplicated between the 2 methods. Is there a reason for this? The Uniques and Duplicates functions look pretty neat!

I figured I'd cross that bridge when I come to it. <strong>Card values:</strong> There is pseudo-support for values in the <a href="https://github.com/jamestharpe/James-Games/blob/master/src/JamesGames.PlayingCards/PlayingCardFace.cs" title="C# enumeration of playing card faces" rel="nofollow">PlayingCardFace enum</a>. Beyond this, card values will generally be game-specific. E.g. in Black Jack, 10, Jack, Queen, and King are worth the same value but in War a King has a higher value than a queen.

At the very least it is indicative of lack of parental involvement. I don’t believe much of the hype when it comes to drugs, but I would still be very concerned with any child who was smoking pot.
