CARD SHARKS (for 1 or 2 players) is based on the TV game show of the same name. This computer version combines the fun of guessing at questions with the strategy of playing the cards, guessing whether the next card is going to be higher or lower than the current one. The player who wins the match gets to advance to the bonus round, with the potential to win big (virtually that is)!

Answer a question to win control of the board. All questions have a numeric answer, for example Michelangelo's age when he died or the number of calories in a cup of seedless raisins. Give a best guess, and your opponent then estimates whether the true answer is higher or lower than your guess. Whoever is closer gains the board.

The board has 2 rows of 5 cards, one for each player. Turn over the first card, then guess if each subsequent one is higher or lower. Make a mistake and the other player gets control. Reaching the end of the row wins the game. Win 2 games to play a bonus round.

There are 20 questions in the download. Registration gives access to over 300. A Card Sharks Editor is available with a $20 registration, and allows creation of new questions for use with the game. Test your number trivia and probability skills with this great guessing game!
