If you play a card to a column that makes the total value greater than 21, the column is 'Busted.' When a column is busted, all the cards are removed and no points are awarded. This is called a 'Combo.' For example, if the fifth card played to a column also brings the total to 21, both a 'Catch 21' and a 'Five Card Charlie' are scored. It is possible to combine multiple scoring conditions. As a reminder, when a Black Jack appears, the words 'Blackjack Attack' will appear. Playing one on any column will clear that column, no matter what the total. The two Black Jacks (the Jack of Spades and the Jack of Clubs) are special cards. You can also clear a column with a 'Five Card Charlie' by placing five cards in the column, as long as they total 21 points or less. When the total of the cards in a column equals 21, the cards in the column are cleared. Picture cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) have a value of 10 Aces can be either 1 or 11. The number at the top of each column shows the current total of the cards in that column. A 'play card here' sign is displayed atop each column where it is possible to place the current card.

You can move a card to any column provided that the resulting total of cards in the column is 21 or less. The number over the draw pile shows the number of cards remaining in the draw pile. Move the top card from the draw pile to one of the four columns.

Maximize your score by making 21's as fast as you can.
