They bet 1 or 2 chips on their guess; correct answer doubles your bid, wrong loses it. The person questioned receives as many chips as there are correct guesses. Each player starts with 10 chips, and the same total is used as the bank. The game ends when the bank breaks. Goal is to get most chips. The questions have a very wide range.
