What is "high-low"?
High-low is a simple card game where the objective is to guess whether the next card drawn will be higher or lower than the current one. The game is usually played with a standard deck of cards, and each card has a specific rank, with Ace typically being the lowest and King the highest. Players start with a card face-up and are then asked to predict if the next card will be higher or lower in value. If the player guesses correctly, they continue to the next card; if wrong, they lose the round. The game is fast-paced and often used for casual fun or as a betting game.
