Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a gaming system and method providing a card game wherein two or more cards of a hand of cards are combinable to form at least one resultant card with a higher combined value. In various embodiments, for a play of the card game, the gaming system randomly selects and displays a hand of cards and each card is associated with one of a plurality of different values. The gaming system enables the player to select at least two of the displayed cards to combine to form at least one resultant card. Each resultant card is associated with a resultant value. The resultant value includes the sum of the values associated with each selected card that is combined to form the resultant card.
