What To Do

• First, take one red card and one black card.
• Number off, 1,2,1,2
• Prepare a score sheet

How To Play

• You will be asked to play a card, and then I will
  match you with another player. Your earnings
  will depend on what you play and what your
  matched player chooses.
• If you play R, your earnings go up 2, other none
• If you play B, your earnings go up none, other 3
• If you each play R, you each earn 2.
• If you each play B, you each earn 3.
• If you play R, other B, you earn 5, other 0.
• If you play B, other R, you earn 0, other 5.
