The 2019 revival instead has both contestants cut their decks onstage and show the resulting bottom card the contestant with the higher card goes first. In all versions from 1978 to 1989, the returning champion usually was selected to go first if there were two new contestants, a backstage coin toss determines the player who sits in the champion's position.
The goal is to complete a row of cards by correctly predicting whether the next is higher or lower in value, similarly to Acey Deucey.Ĭontestants alternate responding to questions to gain control of the cards. Each contestant's row of cards had a bracket atop it with their name on it, which was used to mark their "base cards". The champion (or champion-designate if there were two new contestants) played the red cards on top while the challenger played the blue cards on the bottom. Two contestants are assigned separate oversized decks of 52 playing cards, which the contestants themselves cut before each game (offscreen prior to 2019), and are dealt the first several cards for their row.
