red and black

Stendhal novel's title

Red and black is a simple gambling card game where players bet on whether the next card drawn will be red or black.

Popular as a drinking game and in casual settings because it requires no skill—pure chance with roughly even odds.

Also called high-low when players bet on card value instead of color.
