Hi-Lo
Take turns to flip a card after predicting whether is it higher or lower than the previous card.
How To Play
Step 1.
Shuffle and lay a set of playing cards or numbered cards face down. Decide if the ace is low or high.
Step 2.
Contestants form a circle so that it is obvious who is next to go. The first player turns over the top card.
Step 3.
The second player, before turning a card, must predict whether it will be higher or lower than the first card.
Step 4.
If the prediction is correct, the turn passes to the next player who repeats Step 3. If it is incorrect, the player is eliminated and leaves the circle.

The last player remaining is the winner.

Tips / Variations
Alternatively, use two dice instead of playing cards, but the game works the same way.
A good rule variation is that if two players turn the same number card or throw the same dice score, they are both eliminated.
Joker cards can be included as a free pass for the person who draws it.
