Cut (game)

Cut was a game played between at least two players. It required only a deck of cards, leading the Fourteenth Doctor to declare it "the simplest game of all". The player's aims were simple: upon agreeing the Ace of the deck was the highest valued card, they then the cut the deck once each from a point in the deck of their choosing. They then showed one another the value of the card and whoever's card was the highest value, won.

The Fourteenth Doctor played a game of cut against against the Toymaker in Soho, 1925. (TV: The Giggle ^[+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]
