Zetema is a Victorian card game that Sid Sackson included in A Gamut of Games.
Zetema is played with a 65-card deck consisting of the standard 52 cards plus an additional two through Ace in one suit. Each player's objective is to reach a certain number of points. These can be scored by discarding assemblies (five cards of same rank from the hand), completing tricks (five cards of same rank on the table), setting up marriages (king and queen of same suit from hand and table combined), or revealing flushes and sequences (six cards of same suit or sequential rank). With four or six players the game is played in two teams.
