HIGH NUMBER TOSS-
DECIMAL VERSION


Materials:
  • number cards, 4 each of the numbers 0 through 9
  • scorecard for each player
Number of Players:

Two (2)

Directions:

Each player makes a scorecard, like the one shown to the right, on which to record his or her results.

Shuffle the cards and place the deck facedown on the playing surface.  Each player records his or her results on a scorecard.

In each round:

  • Player A draws the top card from the deck and writes that number on any one of the three blanks on the scorecard.  It need not be the first blank--it can be any one of them.
  • Player B draws the next card from the deck and writes the number on one of his or her blanks.
  • Players take turns doing this two more times.  The player with the larger number wins the round.

Scoring:

The winner's score for a round is the difference between the two players' scores.  The loser scores 0 points for the round.

Example:
Player A: 0.  6 5 4
Player B: 0.  7 5 3
Player B has the larger number and wins the round.  Since 0.753 - 0.654 - 0.099, Player B scores 0.099 points for the round.  Player A scores 0 points.

Players take turns starting a round.  At the end of 4 rounds, they find their total scores.  The player with the larger total score wins the game.
