How to play

Set your coins in play, then hit Deal; the opening card turns face up.
Decide whether the following card will rank above it (Higher) or below it (Lower). Ace counts as 1, King as 13, and suits play no part.
A right guess moves you up one step. When the ranks tie, nothing changes and you simply guess again.
Collect banks the current step's multiplier at any moment. A wrong guess ends the round; reaching step five banks it for you.

An example round

Example: 20 coins in play. The 6♥ is showing, you pick Higher and the J♠ lands (step 1). You pick Lower and the 4♣ lands (step 2). Banking now gives 20 × 1.3 = 26 coins.
