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 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. The Doctor opted to go first and cut at the Eight of Clubs, the Toymaker cut at the King of Hearts therefore he won (TV: The Giggle ^[+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]).
