Twenty One

📝 Special Statement

Hark, Ace of the Frontier Table! You are no longer trifling with simple "Twenty One"; you are entering the legendary Five-Hand Gauntlet of the High-Noon Dealer, a ruthless, card-slinging showdown in the heart of the digital saloon! 🃏💰

The Five-Hand Gauntlet: A Duel Against Destiny

You are the feared Card Sharp, facing off against the shadowy, ever-present High-Noon Dealer across five distinct, escalating levels of peril! This is a simplified, high-speed variant of Blackjack, where your sacred mission is to defeat the Dealer's hand without exceeding the deadly sum of 21. Every round is a desperate gamble, requiring the quick calculation of a mathematical savant and the icy nerves of a gunslinger! 🔫🤯

The Bizarre Bounty: The Code of the Face Cards

The rules of the saloon are twisted by ancient magic! You must immediately master the Bizarre Bounty: The Code of the Face Cards, for their values are altered, injecting a crucial element of chaos into your calculations:

• The Ace of Power (A): Retains its classic, vital value of 1 or 11, remaining the ultimate flexible card!
• The Jack of Fortune (J): Is whimsically valued at a mere 2 points!
• The Queen of Wealth (Q): Sits at a humble 3 points!
• The King of Kingdoms (K): Is the most generous, valued at 4 points!

The numbered cards (2 through 10) carry their face value, but the strategic decision of when to "Hit" or "Stand" is entirely warped by the strange, low values of the Royal Court! 👑🎴

The Stakes of the Showdown: Triumph Over the Dealer

The goal is simple: achieve a total score closer to 21 than the High-Noon Dealer without suffering the catastrophic "Bust" (going over 21)! You must navigate five continuous levels, each one presenting tougher starting hands, more desperate odds, and a relentless increase in difficulty! Failure at any point sends you reeling back to the start! Only by calculating the precise risk, mastering the bizarre new card values, and consistently outwitting the High-Noon Dealer across the full Five-Hand Gauntlet will you claim the ultimate victory! Deal the cards, Card Sharp, and let the showdown begin! 🏆🎲✨
