Odds and Evens is a simple two-player game where players aim to score points by predicting whether the total number of fingers shown is odd or even. Players decide on the number of rounds and assign roles as odds or evens. During each round, players reveal a random number of fingers, and the total is calculated. Points are awarded based on whether the total is odd or even. An advanced version includes guessing the total for bonus points.
