It's a pure gambling game. Aces can be high or low. But you have to call whether it is high or low before you bet. All other cards are what they are in normal cards.

You have two piles of cards and you go in turn of everyone who is playing. Each turn each player has the chance to bet or pass.

You have the 2 cards piles facing up. The player taking his/her turn decides how much to bet or whether to pass from looking at the top 2 cards. If he/she thinks the next card the dealer plays will be between those 2 cards (for example, if the top card on the piles were 2 and 8, they would be betting that the next cards would be 3,4,5,6, or 7.) If they bet and are correct, they win that much money out of the pot. If they lose, they put that much money in. If they hit a "rail" (one of the two face up cards, 2 or 8 in this situation, they have to put in double what they bet).

On any turn, a better can bet as much as 0, or as much as the pot itself. To start the pot just agree on an amount for each player to add to the pot to start each round. A round ends when all of the money in the pot is won.

It's called acey ducey because that sounds better than acey kingy. acey (when it is called high) ducey is the best possible hand to have because the only cards that can come that you will lose on is another duce or ace. Good memories and card counters have a great advantage in this game.
