The rules may need to be summarized in simple text somewhere for slow learners like me.

Basically, the objective is to get 21 and not over it.

First part of a match, you decide how many fingers to show. Your opponent shows his. The number is added up and then you decide if you want to go again. If you go over 21 in the next round you lose, if you hit 21, you win. If you hit below 21, the turn goes to your opponent. (I was very confused by the tutorial because I didn't understand why I was "throwing for my opponent".)

The next part of the game is what I need some clarification on: It's the opponent's turn.
So same thing, you decide on the number of fingers to show, and they are added up with what your opponent chooses to put up. But I'm not clear. Sometimes my opponent's number is greater and I win, sometimes it's not and I lose. I'm a bit muddled over when the game decides I should draw again or not at this point. Can the dev (Jim?) or someone please explain what is happening in the second part of a match?


It looks to be pretty cool strategy game, and one that you could play even without the device with another person.

I thought the game is multi-touch but it isn't. I think it might be cool if it is.

BTW, appstore won't let people who took promo codes rate or leave reviews.

Thanks for the gift.

The rules are the same as blackjack.

1) The light below the hands shows who's round it is.

2) Your round goes always first (for simplification).

3) As you said, if you hit 21, you win, if you bust, you lose. If you hit 12 or more, there's no use to ask for more, becuase you'll obviously bust (12+10=22)

4) When the opponent takes his turn, the rules stay the same. Whoever gets more, wins. A draw does not count neither as a lost round, nor a won round.

5) Your chances to lose a round are shown in the upper-hand corner next to the heart symbol (you start with 70, because you play 100 rounds, and need to win 30 of them). A draw does not reduce your life count.

6) If you lose... you'll see

p.s. the AI does NOT know what you're throwing. It plays fair! It gets more difficult over time, because the AI is adaptive - it remembers your choices for typical situations, and adjusts the strategy.

Thanks very much for the explanation, Jim. Good to know the AI is adaptive too.
