The Objective
The goal of Blackjack is simple: beat the dealer's hand without going over 21. If your hand total is higher than the dealer's, or if the dealer busts (goes over 21), you win!
Card Values
2 - 10
Face value
J, Q, K
10 points each
Ace
1 or 11 points (whichever is better!)
How to Play
- The Deal: Each player and the dealer starts with two cards. One of the dealer's cards is face up.
- Your Turn: Choose to Hit (take another card) or Stand (keep your current total). You can also Double Down or Split in certain situations.
- The Dealer's Turn: Once all players are finished, the dealer reveals their hidden card and must Hit until they reach at least 17.
- The Result: If your total is closer to 21 than the dealer's, you win!
