The rules
On your turn, predict whether your next card is higher or lower than the visible dealer card. Aces are low; equal ranks favour the dealer. A correct call earns two points. Each player gets a fresh dealer card and one prediction; most points wins.
What you need and how to start
Choose Beat the Dealer and select the player count for a shared-device game; names are optional. Alternatively, create a room and invite friends to join on their own phones.
In a room, choose the game first. Everyone, including the host, taps I’m ready. The host then taps Start to begin.
Open the web app in your device’s browser. Playing requires JavaScript. Multiplayer rooms require an internet connection on every device. Use the game’s ? button whenever you want to check the rules.
