Blackjack: cards value

The naipes from 2 to 10 have the value of their own number, independent of the suit.

The figures (King, Queen and Jack) add 10 points.

The Ace can have two values, 1 and 11, depending of your game. For example, if you have a King and an Ace you take 21 points; however if you have 8, 10 and an Ace you take 19 points, in this occasion the Ace count 1 point, otherwise already you exceed to 21.

If you have 21 points with an Ace and a figure (King, Queen and Jack) it knows as “blackjack” and it is better than the 21 points obtained by other form, for example 10, 9 and 2.
