Higher / Lower Cards

Higher / Lower deals you one card and asks a simple question: will the next card be higher or lower? Every correct guess extends your streak; one wrong guess ends it. The game shows the exact chance of each answer, calculated from the cards still in the deck, so you can see when a guess is a safe bet and when it is a gamble. The Ace is high.

Tips and Strategies

Choose the side with the larger percentage.
Remember which cards have been played: the odds change as the deck shrinks.
Extreme cards are easy: after a two the next card is higher unless it is also a two.
Middle cards such as sevens and eights are risky.
A long streak always includes some luck.

Luck plays a part in every game, so no strategy can guarantee a win.
