What Are the Cards Called in Blackjack?

There are 52 cards in a deck of playing cards. The suits are clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades. Face cards are two through ten. Aces are one through two. In blackjack, each player gets two cards face down and then replaces them with new cards.

The object of the game is to score as close to 21 as possible, with the player losing when they get closer to or over 21. The dealer gets a hand of either blackjack (five cards) or draw (four cards). The player’s first card is turned over and if it is higher than the dealer’s card, the player wins that hand and adds that amount of money to their score. If the first card is lower, the dealer gains that amount of money and the first card is turned over again to start the next hand.
