Playing Double Exposure Blackjack is a fun and exciting game that can be enjoyed by anyone. You will need to have some basic knowledge of the game before starting, but the rest is simple.
To play, you will need two decks of cards. The first deck will be used as your regular deck, while the second deck will be used as your double exposure deck. When you are ready to begin playing, shuffle the regular deck and place it face down in front of you. Then, take the double exposure deck and discard all of its cards.
You will now be left with a hand of five cards. Each card in your hand will be associated with one of the five suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades, and tarot cards).
To begin playing, you will need to place one of your five cards on each of the five piles on the table. The Ace is placed on the Aces pile, 2 through 10 are placed on the Jacks pile, face up; 11 through 18 are placed on the Tens pile, face up; and 19 through 26 are placed on the Queens pile, face up.
Note that any card that is not an Ace, 2 through 10, Jacks or Tens can only be used as a wildcard (discussed later).
Once all five cards have been placed, you are ready to begin playing. To play a card from your hand, you will need to first determine if it is higher or lower than any card currently in front of someone else on one of the piles.
If it is higher, then you will place it on top of the pile it was played from; if it is lower then you will place it on top of the pile that it was played against. For example: if you were playing an 8 from your hand and an 8 was already in front of someone else on the Aces pile (meaning it was played against), then you would place your 8 on top of that pile (and not on top of the Tens pile).
If at any time during your turn a player has no legal cards left in their hand (meaning they have no higher or lower cards), then they must either draw a new card or forfeit their turn. If another player has no legal cards left in their hand at this point and they have not yet won a round (meaning there are still at least one card left in each player’s stack), then that player automatically wins that round and takes another turn.
Note that if there are still two or more cards left in each player’s stack after a player has won a round then that player can choose to either take another turn or try to win another round by playing one more card(s). If a player cannot win any more rounds then they lose the game.
