Backyard Blackjack

Backyard Blackjack is a cooperative, take on the classic casino staple blackjack. 2–5 players work together to try have more chips than the casino by the end of 10 hands. During those 10 hands, the team must navigate unique casinos and unpredictable dealer events. You win by taking the casino's chip reserve or finishing the final round with the larger stack. But be warned: the house always wins a tie. Core Gameplay: While the goal remains the classic "get to 21," the way you get there is entirely cooperative: Shared Resource Management: Your chips are a shared pool. You can spend them to trigger powerful Special Actions like Peeking at the deck, Splitting hands, or Exchanging cards with teammates to save a hand from busting. Themed Casinos: Choose from different casinos each with their own unique rules and twists. Dealer Events: Each of the 10 hands features a unique Rule/Event card. These modifiers will give the players special objectives or rules to follow during a hand. —description from the designer
