The two players each play from a regulation (though awfully large) deck of 52 playing cards (plus some extra prize cards). The champion plays the red deck; the challenger plays the blue deck. Five cards from each deck are dealt to their respective rows. |
| In order to control the board, the players must answer one of three types of survey questions: One player must give a numerical answer, and the other must predict whether the actual answer is higher or lower. If the second player is correct, he has control. Otherwise, the first player takes control. |  |
 |
The base card of the player in control is revealed, and he has the option of changing it with the next card off the top of his deck. He then predicts whether the next card is higher or lower. If incorrect, all overturned cards except the base card are removed, and his opponent gets to play her cards, but cannot change her base card. If correct, however, he may continue on to the remaining cards or freeze; if he freezes, his current card is protected and becomes his new base card. Play ends when either player freezes or if both players miscall. The empty spaces are filled with the next cards off the top of the decks, and another question is played. |
|
|
| Also mixed in the deck are prize cards, including various prizes such as cash ($500), trips (Waikiki), and furniture (an oak day bed). Whenever one of these cards is discovered, it is removed and replaced with the next card from the deck, and play resumes as normal. A player can only win the prizes he discovered if he wins the match. |  |
 |
Game play continues until one player turns over all 5 cards in his row successfully. If no winner has been determined by that point, the fourth question becomes the "Sudden Death" question. Whichever player wins the sudden death question has the option to play his cards (with the option of changing the base card) or passing to his opponent (who cannot change). If a player completes his row, he wins the game and $100. If not, his opponent wins the $100. The second game of the 2-out-of-3 match is then played, and the winner also receives $100. |
| If necessary, a third tiebreaker game is played, with only three cards on each row and a maximum of three questions. Whoever wins the game goes on to the Money Cards for a chance to win up to $32,000 and a new car. |  |
 |
The Money Cards were played like the cards in the main game, but the player was given money to bet. The player started with $200 on the first card, and played 3 cards. The final card in the row was moved up to the next row, and another $400 was given to bet with. Minimum bets were $50, and the final card on the second row was moved up to the top row for the Big Bet, where at least half the money must be wagered. The player had at his disposal three Change Cards; he could substitute any one card per line with any of the three Change Cards. |
| $16,000 | $16,000 x 2 = $32,000 | ||
| $1600 + $400 = $2000 | $2000 x 2 = $4000 | $4000 x 2 = $8000 | $8000 x 2 = $16,000 |
| $200 | $200 x 2 = $400 | $ 400 x 2 = $800 | $800 x 2 = $1600 |

| Hidden in the Money Cards deck are three jokers (a fourth one is given free at the outset), and if they are found, they are used in the car game. In the car game, the player places the jokers on any of 7 cards, only one of which says "CAR". If a joker is placed on the card that says "CAR" the player wins the car. In any event, the player returns to meet a new champion. |  |
