What is an online heads or tails game?

First, it helps to know which side is heads and which is tails. Traditionally, the tails side is the one showing the number, while the heads side shows a symbol or portrait, and that design varies from one coin to another. Once you've chosen your side, all that's left is to toss the coin.

Playing heads or tails with more than 2 players

Classic heads or tails is hard, if not impossible, to play with more than 2 players, so why not try our dice generator instead? Just set the number of sides equal to the number of players. For example, for 3 players: 3-sided die.

The history of heads or tails

Heads or Tails is a simple coin-flip game that has been around for centuries. It's played by two people, each with a coin, and the goal is to guess which side will face up once the coin is flipped. The player who guesses correctly wins. The game is thought to have originated in ancient Rome, where it was played with a copper coin and used to settle disputes, whoever guessed right won the argument. Heads or tails has been referenced in literature throughout the ages: in the 16th century it appears in a play by Shakespeare, and in the 18th century in a book by Jane Austen. It's still popular today and is often used to make decisions, if two people can't agree on where to eat, for instance, they can flip a coin to decide.
