Before the last card is turned over, players declare high or low. The high hand and the low hand split the pot. The goal is to make the total points of your cards close to either 2 or 22. Cards are worth the number of points of their value. Face cards are worth one-half of a point.
Aces are either worth one point or eleven points.
To start, each player receives 2 cards, one face up and one face down. There is an opening round of betting. Betting always starts with the player to the left of the dealer. Then, each player elects whether he'll receive another card. If anyone takes another card, there is another round of betting, and another chance to receive additional cards.
