## How to play

The game follows (mostly!) standard Blackjack rules. 

:hearts:  :spades: :diamonds: :clubs: 

>Players attempt to reach a score of 21—without exceeding it (busting)—before the dealer hits 17. 

:hearts:  :spades: :diamonds: :clubs: 

- You (the player) are dealt two cards (face up)
- The dealer is dealt two cards, but one of the cards is kept face down
- Considering your starting total, and the visible total of the dealer, you can either
    - hit: whereby you are dealt an additional card, or
    - stick: where your value is locked and the game moves onto the dealer's cards
- You can hit as many times as you like, but you will 'bust' and lose if your total surpasses 21
- Once you're happy with your total, click stick to move onto the dealer
- The dealer must be hit (take on an additional card) if their starting value is below 17
- Whoever has the highest total equal to or less than 21 wins! 

The dealer process is automated - the game result will be rendered as soon as you click stick - good luck! :black_joker:
