This is a very common element in many card games, and there are several possibilities depending on the specific game you have in mind. To help you figure out which game you're thinking of, please provide more context:
* What kind of card game is it? Is it a trick-taking game, a shedding game, or something else?
* What are the rules for scoring points? Do you have to call out the card before playing it? Do you have to match the previous player's card?
* What are the names of any cards that are important for scoring?
Once I have more information, I can help you identify the specific card game.
