Punch Cards: Spy Game

This is the second set of Punch Cards released by Cheapass. Punch Cards are just what they sound like; cards with holes punched in them.

On the front of each of this particular set of cards is art from "James Ernest's Totally Renamed Spy Game" (illustrated by Cheyenne Wright) and on the back are lots of numbers. Riddling the cards themselves are the aforementioned holes. (Just your standard office hole-punched style holes)

You and your opponent each pick a card (based solely on your like of the art work) and then a corner of the card. Place the two corners together so you can see the numbers through the holes.

Now both players call either "High," "Low," or "Both." If one player says "High" and the other player says "Low," play again. Otherwise, either the highest or the lowest number wins, depending on what was called. If either of you says "Both" the game is always on, but you must win both highest and lowest numbers to claim victory. Read out the highest/lowest numbers you can see through your holes and try to beat your opponent, that's it!

This particular set was released at summer conventions because "James Ernest's Totally Renamed Spy Game" (a re-working of the classic and trademark-infringing "Before I Kill You Mr Bond") wasn't quite ready yet.
