Objective: The object of the game is to get "21" by having your cards add up to that number or as close as possible. The dealer also tries to get 21. If no one gets 21, the player (including the dealer) with the closest number to 21 wins. When the dealer and a player both get 21, the player wins. When the dealer gets 21 and no other player gets it, the dealer wins. When a player (or the dealer) goes over 21, that person loses.
To Play: Shuffle a deck of cards and appoint one person as the dealer. Players are dealt one card face down and one card face up. Starting with the first player on the dealer's left, the players indicate whether they want another "hit" (another card dealt) or whether they want to "stay" (no other cards dealt). The dealer also deals cards for himself but his or her cards are all face up so the players can see the dealer's hand.The game resumes until all players have indicated that they will stay and not receive any additional cards. The overturned cards are then turned over to reveal each person's score.
To Score: Aces count as either one point or eleven points, depending upon how the player wants to count it. Face cards are worth ten points. Other cards are worth their true value.
