You are not competing against the other players at the table. Your job is to finish closer to 21 than the dealer without going over.
- 2 through 10 are worth their face value.
- J, Q and K are worth 10.
- Aces can count as 1 or 11.
- A two-card Ace + 10-value card is a natural blackjack.
- Going over 21 is a bust and the hand loses immediately.
