. I think the word "House Card" is capitalized, meaning it has a special meaning or treated as a proper noun.-- Yes, it is the name of a type of card; evidently (from the 'a') there are several of these cards in the game, and this is one of them. From what I learned, I think an...

Hi, I am not too sure why there has to be the article "a" in front of the word "House Card" in quotation marks. The instructor will give each person in the room a "House Card." This is supposed to be part of instructions to be given in playing a card game for an...
