Overview
Blackjack compares totals against a dealer within a limit of twenty-one. An ace may count as one or eleven; picture cards count as ten.
The shape of a round
After the initial deal, permitted actions depend on the variant. The dealer completes the hand under mandatory rules, then results are settled. Exceeding the limit is called bust.
Equipment
Cards, a table layout and variant-specific dealing equipment.
Common terminology
Hit means taking a card. Stand means taking no more. A soft hand counts an ace as eleven.
