How to play

  1. 01

    Remove the four numbered 10s from a standard deck; keep J, Q and K. Use the common-dealer setup from Blackjack.

  2. 02

    Hit or stand using blackjack card values. The club dealer stands on all 17s. A challenger bust loses immediately.

  3. 03

    A challenger’s 21 wins against the dealer, even a dealer 21; a challenger natural beats a dealer natural. Challenger naturals score +1.5; other wins +1, pushes 0 and losses −1.

  4. 04

    Compare the challengers’ scores. A winning original natural uses the same 1.5 × base share bonus, capped at 90%.

🏆 WHO WINS

Higher score wins the club round.

🤝 TIES & PUSHES

Equal challenger scores replay with a fresh shuffle.

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.
