About High Stakes

High Stakes loads straight into the action — it's free, browser-based, and works without any download or registration. It keeps its rules small and its challenge honest, which is a rarer combination than it should be.

Input is simple keyboard and mouse stuff. If you can browse the web, you can play this. It works on phones and tablets too, so the couch counts as a gaming setup. One attempt is all it usually takes to understand the appeal.

How to Play High Stakes

Press Play and let the game load in your browser — it only takes a few seconds.
Use your keyboard and mouse to control the game; the opening moments introduce the basics.
Improve run by run; the first tries are for learning the rules.

Controls: Keyboard / Mouse
