About
Choose how many winning cards there are, or put your items on the cards, then deal. In turn, each person picks any face-down card and turns it over. In a hurry? Open every card at once.
Which card someone picks never changes the odds: the cards are shuffled with cryptographic randomness before anyone chooses, so every card is as likely as the next to win. When the round is over, play on with only the winners, or again without them.
