Overview

• A board of nine cards is dealt face up and players choose if the next card is higher or lower.

How To Play

• Board of nice cards are dealt face up in a 3x3 grid.

• Rotation around the table to all remaining players to select one card from the grid and whether the next card is higher or lower than the selected cards.  Aces are lowest and Kings are highest.

• The selected card is turned face up and covers the card in the grid that the player selected.

• If the player is correct, play rotates to the next player.

• If the player is incorrect, the player pays $1 and that pile of cards in the grid is turned face down and is out of play.

• If the card matches the grid card, the player stays in play but must pay a $3 fee.

Determining the Winner

• Game continues until there are 2 players left.  With 2 players, if a player is incorrect, the other player must be successful or the game continues with both players.

• Game ends when one player is correct following an incorrect player selection.

• Game also ends when there are no face up cards left OR the deck is exhausted.
