How to play Higher or Lower online
Higher or Lower is a one-card guessing game. A card is shown. You guess if the next card from the deck will be higher or lower. Ace is the lowest card and King is the highest.
How it works
- You start with 3 lives and a shuffled 52-card deck.
- Press Higher or Lower. If you are right, you score points and your streak grows. If you are wrong, you lose a life and the streak goes back to zero.
- If the next card has the same rank, it is a push. Nothing is lost and your streak stays.
- The game ends when you run out of lives, or when the deck is empty.
Scoring
Each button shows its chance of being right (when odds are on) and the points it pays. A risky guess pays more than a safe one. Your points are also multiplied by your streak: x1 at the start, one more for every 4 right guesses, up to x5. If you clear the whole deck with lives left, you get a bonus of 100 plus 100 for each life.
Card counter
The row under the buttons shows how many cards of each rank are still in the deck. Use it to work out your odds. Keys: Up arrow for higher, Down arrow for lower.
