Higher round score wins; equal scores replay. The dealer is a fixed-rule hand, never a third challenger.

Chase 21. A natural can raise the agreed share.
How to play
- 01
Use a standard deck without jokers. Deal two cards to each challenger and to a common dealer; one dealer card stays hidden. Alternate which challenger acts first on replays.
- 02
Number cards keep their value; J, Q and K count as 10; an ace counts as 1 or 11. Each challenger hits or stands. Above 21 is a bust.
- 03
The common dealer reveals, hits totals below 17 and stands on every 17, including soft 17. An original two-card ace plus a 10-value card is a natural; it outranks a drawn 21. A dealer natural ties a player natural and beats other hands.
- 04
Score each challenger against the dealer: win +1, push 0, loss −1, winning natural +1.5. The higher score wins this club round. A winning natural earns the 3:2 share bonus below.
Both naturals, both busts, both ordinary wins or any equal scores: reshuffle and replay.
AFTER THE GAME
Cards down. Phones up.
The winner proposes the agreed collaboration share on the loser’s first qualifying prospect. Both call counters start at zero. The loser can cancel the proposed split by completing the agreed redemption challenge before its cutoff. The actual work and contribution still determine earned credit.
