Answer 1

Enter random seed: 10
Middle card(s): [2]
Player 1 available: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Player 2 bid: 2
Player 2 wins bid, has captured [2]
Middle card(s): [3]
Player 1 available: [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Player 2 bid: 3
Player 1 wins bid, has captured [3]
Middle card(s): [4]
Player 1 available: [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Player 2 bid: 5
Player 2 wins bid, has captured [4]
Middle card(s): [5]
Player 1 available: [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Player 2 bid: 8
Player 2 wins bid, has captured [5]
Middle card(s): [6]
Player 1 available: [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Player 2 bid: 7
Player 2 wins bid, has captured [6]
Middle card(s): [7]
Player 1 available: [7, 8, 9, 10]
Player 2 bid: 9
Player 2 wins bid, has captured [7]
Middle card(s): [8]
Player 1 available: [8, 9, 10]
Player 2 bid: 10
Player 2 wins bid, has captured [8]
Middle card(s): [9]
Player 1 available: [9, 10]
Player 2 bid: 9
Player 2 wins bid, has captured [9]
Middle card(s): [10]
Player 1 available: [10]
Player 2 bid: 10
Tie bid - middle card remains
