📝 Special Statement

You've perfectly described the objective of Blackjack (also known as "21")! It's one of the world's most popular casino card games, combining luck and strategic decision-making. 🃏

The Core Objective

The fundamental goal of Blackjack is a simple numerical challenge:

• Reach a score of 21 exactly (which is an instant win, usually referred to as getting a Blackjack if achieved with the first two cards).
• Or, achieve a total card score higher than the dealer's score, without exceeding 21 (this is called "busting").

If your score exceeds 21, you bust and automatically lose the hand, regardless of the dealer's score.

Card Scoring

To achieve the winning score, players calculate the value of their cards as follows:

• Numbered Cards (2 through 10): Count their face value.
• Face Cards (Jack, Queen, King): Each counts as 10 points.
• Aces: The most versatile card, it can count as either 1 point or 11 points, whichever is more advantageous to the player's hand.

This flexible scoring rule, particularly with the Ace, is why strategic play is so crucial to the game. Knowing when to "Hit" (take another card) or "Stand" (keep the current hand) is what separates a novice from a Master!
