Rules

• This is a simplified version of BlackJack so there are only two players the 'player' and the 'dealer'. There is also no gambling!
• The game is played with a deck of 52 cards
• At the start of the game the deck is shuffled and two cards are dealt to the player and the dealer
• Play begins with the player. The following choices available to the player:
  • "Stand": Player stays put with their cards.
  • "Hit": Player draws another card. If this card causes the player's total points to exceed 21 ("bust") then they will lose.
• After the player has had their turn, the dealer will turn over their first card.
• If the dealer has a score of 16 or less then the dealer must take another card

Result

• If the player or the dealer goes over 21 then they will 'bust' and lose.
• If no player has bust then the player with the higher point total will win.
• If both players have the same score the result is a draw unless one player has blackjack in which case they win.

Scoring

• Aces may be counted as 1 or 11 points. The higher value applies if it does not cause the player to go over 21
• Cards 2 to 9 points are same as face value (e.g 5 = 5 points)
• Ten, Jack, Queen and King cards count as ten points.
• The value of a hand is the sum of the point values of the individual cards. Except, a "blackjack" is the highest hand, consisting of one ace and any 10-point card, and it outranks all other 21-point hands.
