Two teams, typically pairs (often married couples), compete against each other, vying for control of the game. Each round begins with a question posed to one of the teams. The answer to this question, usually a numerical estimate, determines who gets to start playing with the cards. The team whose estimate is closest to the correct answer wins control and a starting card is dealt.
From there, the main game unfolds. One player states whether they believe the next card will be "higher" or "lower" than the current one. Their partner then confirms or challenges the call. If they guess correctly, the card is flipped, and they continue their turn, moving to the next card in the sequence. If they guess incorrectly, control passes to the opposing team, along with the current card and its value. The goal is to successfully navigate a row of five cards, making correct higher or lower predictions for each. The first team to clear their row wins the round.
Winning a round isn't just about bragging rights; it earns a team a chance to play "The Big Deal," the show's exciting final round where significant cash prizes are at stake. In The Big Deal, the winning team faces a new row of five cards. Starting with a base amount of money, they must once again predict "higher" or "lower" for each subsequent card.
The tension builds with every correct guess, as the potential winnings increase. However, one incorrect guess means they lose all the money accumulated in that sequence and must restart the row. This high-risk, high-reward format kept viewers on the edge of their seats, watching contestants grapple with the decision to play on or "stick" with their current winnings. The ultimate aim is to successfully navigate all five cards, securing the grand prize.
