Three Card Monty

All right everybody, step right up, gather round, you make an extra twenty bucks; see how easy it is. A simple game, anyone can play. Buddy takes three cards: three of clubs, ace of spades, and jack of hearts. He rearranges them quickly and turns them over; you pick the card that's the ace of spades, and make yourself a twenty.

Well, that's the way it would play in "the big apple" ... until the cops come along and then it's "cheesit, let's go; let's get out of here" - well that's New York City style.

Well, here on Buddy's website, it's safe (I'm looking around; at least I think it's safe ... well, I sure hope so). Oh before I forget, here it's best with two players.

Don't need a "look-out" ... the coast is clear, right?
So good luck, have fun, don't get caught.

And let's play.

Oh, one more thing; the name of the game is to keep your eye on that Ace.
In NYC, the sharpies remove the Ace even while you're looking.
You can't beat 'em, forget it, don't even try it.
You'll win $20 and give back a $100.
All right, now the rules:

  1. First click the "Start a new game" button to start.
  2. One player clicks on a card to flip it over.
  3. If it's the Ace of spades, this player wins.
  4. If not, next player clicks on one of the remaining cards.
  5. If it's an Ace of spades, the second player wins.
  6. If not, it's a draw game ... no one wins.

Uh oh, I see the fuzz coming … Let's get out of here … should’ve listened to mommy.
But wait a second ... there's mommy doing "corner lookout" ... that's a bummer.
