| The object of the game is to call the next card in a line higher or lower than the one preceding it. You can change your first card and freeze anytime. |
 |
| But to get to the cards, you have to answer a "high-low toss-up question". One player guesses the number of people who responded a certain way to a question, the other higher or lower than that. |
| Here, the player on the right guessed 40 on the question and his opponent said the actual number is higher. He gets to play his cards because the number is lower. |
| A typical game in progress. |
| The first to win two games of the match goes on to...THE MONEY CARDS! A player can walk away with $28,800 here. |
