Welcome to Acey Deucey. The goal of this game is for you to correctly guess
whether the third card is going to be between the two cards I'll pull from
the deck. For example, if I flip up a 5 of hearts and a jack of diamonds, you'd bet on whether the next card will have a higher rank than a 5 AND a lower rank than a jack (e.g., a 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 of any suit).

Ready? Let's go!
