Two husband-and-wife couples competed against each other
by answering questions. A right answer gave them the option
to keep or to give away a playing card in a game of blackjack.
The object was to score "21" exactly, or get as close as
possible to 21 without going over before the opponent did.
The first team to win two games won the match, $200, and a
chance to play the Gambit Board for merchandise prizes.
