	Hello =) The card game is also known as Black Jack, and the goal is to get as close to 21 as possible, but not over. So, for instance, if your current cards sum up to 17, and you draw another card, anything above 4 will be too much and you lose. If you stay at 17 and the dealer has lower than you, you win. If the dealer has higher than you (but not over 21), you lose. Hope that clarifies a bit ^^

	Face cards (King, Queen, and Jack) are worth 10 each, and the Ace can be worth either 11 or 1. For instance, if you get a Jack and an Ace off the bat, that's a blackjack, or automatic win (10 + 11 = 21). However, if you have 3 and a Jack, then you get an Ace, then that Ace reverts to 1, so that you don't go over (3+10+1 = 14). You may then choose to take another Hit and hope to get 7 or less, or you can stand at 14. Basic strategy (that used by dealers, who don't follow any instinct, but must stick to set guidelines on when to hit or stand) is to stand once you get 17 or higher. You should refer to this Guide by card master Rio, for further information.
