Hint

All Divisions

One card is missing, one card is different. If you find one, you will find the other. What color are they?

Solution

Although the deck was set up in a particular way, this entire game was a red herring - the answer to this clue was two cards glued together with a message between them.

The glued-together cards were the Jack of hearts and the Jack of diamonds (for Beginners and Regular Divisions), or the Jack of hearts and a joker (for Masters' Division).

The slip of paper between the two glued-together cards said "SALOON" in red; the Jack was also red; taken together, these pointed you to the Red Jack Saloon, which is at 131 Bay Street.

Surprisingly, many teams' "dealers" didn't notice the extra thickness of that particular card, even those who played the game and dealt it. The license plate on the back deck of the Red Jack Saloon read "SPECTRE", the evil organization against which MI6 was always pitted in the earliest Bond films.

There were some hidden clues in the game. First, there was a reference to the explosives that Dr. Zeus "stocked under the Bay" - this was a hint that the location was at Stockton and Bay. And the final score of the game, 131 points, was the street address of the Red Jack Saloon on Bay Street.
