This might not look very promising, but to my mind it's one of the most testing games of logic I've seen on a micro. Two 5x5 grids represent the computer's 25 playing cards face down and the player's corresponding 25 flots. You have to guess the value of any card lying face down by placing one of your own cards on top of it. If your card is higher than or equal to the micro's card you win. If you can complete a horizontal or vertical row of five correct you win a trick.

This would be guesswork if it weren't for the information displayed against each row and column. Counting each at normal face value, the total of each row and column are displayed above and to the right of the grid. Left and below are the numbers of cards of each suit. So a clever logician can make intelligent guesses about likely positions.

It has been designed to make use extremely easy. The display is too crowded, but it is difficult to see how else it could have been done. The instructions are misspelt a rather hard on the eye. I think this game is likely to give much longer use than the average arcade game.
