Cards
The deck of cards contains a 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, jack, queen, king, and ace-each in one of four different suits. Suits include spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs, but are irrelevant. Each card from 2 to 9 has a value equal to its number, or total spots. Tens, jacks, queens, and kings are all worth 10. Aces are unique in that an ace can be counted as 1 or 11, depending on which is more favorable to the player at the time of its usage. For some hands the ace may start out being considered as 11 only to be counted as 1 later in the same hand.
