A Cunning Game of Highs & Lows To win this game, you will need to read your opponents minds--when you figure out which card they are about to play you will have your chance to win. On each turn, players flip over a point card and compete to take it (if it is a positive number) or avoid it (if it is a negative number). The catch is that everyone starts with the same cards, so you will need to psyche out your opponents and play your cards carefully. But if you guess wrong and tie with another player, you both miss out. It is a game filled with highs . . . and lows. A diabolically simple card game with plenty of strategy and bluffing, and just five rules No waiting--players play their cards simultaneously A German classic from famous inventor Alex Randolph -from Publisher Website Credits: Producer, Director, Writer, Editor, Composer: Ferdinand Capitulo

About What the Heck?, from BoardGameGeek:

Rarely is a game broken down to its barest elements like this one. Players are given an equal deck of bidding cards from one to fifteen. Each turn, a prize tile is randomly selected from a pool. A prize tile is worth either positive or negative points (from -5 to +10). Each player is attempting to gather the most positive points from these prizes. Players secretly select one of their remaining bidding cards and reveal them simultaneously. For positive prizes, the highest card gets the prize; For negative prizes, the lowest card is stuck with the prize. However, if two people play the highest (or lowest) card, they cancel each other out and the prize goes to the next in line. The highest total score after all fifteen prizes are awarded wins.
