A staircase of cards climbs into the sky! Guess what the next card will be, flip it, and step up. Count the cards that are left to work out your chances. With 3D glasses the stairs climb right into the screen.

Do you have 3D glasses? Red-green, red-blue and red-cyan glasses all work.
You can change this any time from the menu.

How deep?
Less depth is easier on the eyes. More depth pops out more.
1. Hide the green bar
Put the glasses on and cover the eye behind the green lens, so you look only through the red lens. Slide left until the green bar disappears.
2. Hide the red bar
Now cover the eye behind the red lens, so you look only through the green lens. Slide left until the red bar disappears.
3D mode is just a fun way to play. If your eyes feel tired, take a break or play without glasses.
HOW TO PLAY
You stand on a face-up card at the bottom of the stairs. Each step up hides a card.
Higher or lower? Will the next card be higher or lower than the one you are on? Ace is 1, then 2 to 10, Jack 11, Queen 12, King 13. The same number is always safe.
Later climbs let you choose your question on each step: higher or lower, red or black (♥ ♦ red, ♠ ♣ black) or odd or even (Ace 1, Jack 11, King 13 odd; Queen 12 even). Pick the one with the most cards on your side!
A wrong guess loses a ❤️, but you still climb. Reach the top with a heart left to win! Lose only a few hearts (about 1 for every 8 steps) for ⭐⭐⭐.
🧮 The odds count the cards left in the deck. If 30 of the 40 cards left are higher, “higher” has a 3 in 4 chance. Every right guess earns a chip for new card backs.
HOW 3D WORKS
Try this: hold up a finger and look at it with one eye, then the other. It jumps! Your brain uses the jump between your eyes to see depth: stereo vision.
The game draws the stairs twice, from two eyes a little apart, in red and in green (or blue). The glasses give each eye its own picture, so the steps climb away from you into the screen.
Chance fact: a deck has 52 cards: 4 suits of 13. If you are on a 2, there are lots of higher cards, so “higher” is a great bet. If you are on a 7, it is close to 50-50: that is where counting the cards already seen really helps!
