17. A player chooses a card from the Decider deck. If a black card is drawn, the player with the larger value wins the point. If a red card is drawn, the player with the lesser value wins the point. In this case, Player 1 would win the point because it is the larger value. Play continues until someone has 5 points.

18. Greater or Less Than Game Setup: 1.Pull out Aces, 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s from all suits and put them in a pile (randomizer pile). 2.Place the remaining cards into a separate pile (decider deck).

19. Additional Comparison Games Setup: 1.Use Ace’s to tens of all suites Fractions: Pages 11 – 13 Decimals: Pages 14 - 16 Integers: Pages 17 – 19 Equations: Pages 20 2. All face cards become the decider deck.
