HIGH LOW is poker, but the showdown is math. Each hand, you get four number cards from 0 to 10 and bet against four AI opponents. Then, when the betting is done, you don't show the highest hand — you build the closest equation to 1 or 20. Closest to 1 wins half the pot. Closest to 20 wins the other half. Or go for both. ▸ FIVE BOT PERSONALITIES The Mathematician calculates. The Gambler chases pots. The Reader watches you. The Maniac raises into anything. The Rookie folds when you push. Each one bets, bluffs, and folds differently. ▸ THREE DIFFICULTY LEVELS Easy bots make sloppy bets and submit suboptimal equations. Medium bots play tight, value-driven poker. Hard bots read your hand strength, exploit your tells, and never leave money on the table. ▸ THE MATH IS DETERMINISTIC There's no luck at the showdown. Whoever builds the equation that lands closest to the target wins. Tier cards (Gold > Silver > Bronze > Coal) break ties — no randomness, no kingmakers. ▸ EQUATION BUILDER Drag your number cards and operators (+, −, ÷) into the slots. Apply the square root bonus. Hold the multiply card to bend the rules. Quick Pick if you want the engine to find your best line. ▸ BUILT FOR YOUR COMMUTE One hand takes 90 seconds. Lives refill on a timer, so you can dip in and out without a session running out of chips. ▸ NO REAL-WORLD GAMBLING Chips have no real-world value. They can't be redeemed, deposited, or withdrawn. High Low is a math puzzle wearing a poker frame. In-app purchases: - Remove Ads ($3.99): no ads, bigger heart cap, two free lives every two hours. - Unlimited Lives ($9.99): never run out, no ads. Both are optional. The free game is fully playable.
