Methods of Declaration
First, declarations can be made either in turn or simultaneously. Games with verbal in-turn declarations are uncommon, because the positional value of declaring last is so great that it makes the game unfair. Simultaneous declarations are commonly done by the "chips in hand" method. Each player remaining in the game takes two chips or coins below the table, then brings up a closed hand containing zero, one, or two of the chips. After all players have brought their closed hands above the table, they all then open their hands to reveal their choices: for example, no chips in the hand means the player is declaring "low", one chip "high", and two chips "swing" (both ways).
