Aces can play as one point or 11, depending on which number benefits the player best.Ī typical casino-style game uses between one and eight standard decks of 52 cards, which are shuffled together. Cards are scored by their numerical ranking, with all picture cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) worth 10 points. The object of the game is to beat the dealer by scoring more points in a hand without exceeding 21. Blackjack is a variation of 21, which covers a broad range of card games that have been played in continental Europe since the 17th century.
