## What is Beat the Deck?

Beat the Deck is the addictive card game that puts your instincts to the ultimate test. Nine cards are dealt into a 3x3 grid, and with every turn you must predict whether the next card will be higher or lower than the one before it.

Guess right and your streak lives on. Guess wrong and that card is gone for good, shrinking your options and raising the stakes with every flip. As the grid thins out, the pressure mounts and your decisions matter more than ever.

Play Red and Black Mode for an extra layer of challenge, or chase your highest streak to ignite the fire and earn bonus points. Beat every last card in the deck to set off a full celebration.

Compete on Game Center leaderboards, track your personal records, and see how you stack up against the best.

Simple to learn, hard to put down. Can you outlast the deck?

Where do I sign up for Beat the Deck rehab to deal with my addiction?

### 4/5 — Red or black option

*2025-03-29*

Love this game but wish I could also pick red or black

### 3/5 — I question how random it is

*2024-10-31*

I don’t think it’s random! Especially when I get a Jack…I seem to always get a king as the next card. Fun game but I have played for a few days now and I have only cleared the deck once

### 5/5 — Addictive.

**Developer response:** Thank you mrolfers, glad you are enjoying the recent upgrades!

### 3/5 — No instructions

*2024-06-20*

2 and 1/2 stars from me. There are no in-game instructions or tutorial that I could find. I eventually figured out how things work. But I came close to just giving up and deleting it.

The game is interesting. I would rate it higher if I didn’t have to guess at the rules by trial and error.

**Developer response:** Thank you Dr. Zachary Smith for your feedback. I'm am glad you are enjoying Beat the Deck! Also with your input, I want to have you know that this upcoming update is going to include a How to Play section.

Game of luck and strategy that keeps you coming back for more play!  Will you beat the deck this time or will it beat you?

### 5/5 — Great strategy game!

*2023-05-22*

Hi/low, in between, card sharks - all great games and beat the deck is in the same stratosphere!
