How does the Sudden Death round work in Card Sharks?

[AARPTeri]

In Card Sharks, there is a finite number of survey questions that will be asked before Sudden Death mode begins. Ideally, you will be able to complete your row of cards before it’s time for Sudden Death, but if both you and your opponent are unable to do it, you’ll need to prepare for a no-holds barred final round!

After the final survey question, the winner of that question can choose to “play” or “pass.” One player will end up with a single goal: to clear their row without making a mistake. If they do, they win. But if they don’t, their opponent wins the whole game.

If you win the survey question and can choose to “play” or “pass,” it’s important to think strategically. How many cards do you have left to clear? How many does your opponent have? What card is face-up for you and your opponent, and would that make their first choice easier or harder?

Either way, it’s an intense finish to a very fun and competitive game. Good luck!
