What Is the Value of Face Cards in Blackjack?

Face cards are the heart of blackjack. They are worth more than other cards, and their value affects how much money you can win in a game.

A face card is worth 10 points in blackjack, which is why it’s called the “10”. A Jack, Queen, King card each are worth one point, so a hand with three face cards (10,J,Q) is worth 21 points.

If you have a hand with two face cards and another card that’s not a face card, that hand is called “two-card” or “no-card”. In this case, the two face cards are worth nothing.

If you have an all-face-card hand (10,J,Q), you’re automatically awarded 21 points. If you have an all-no-card hand (2,3), you’re awarded nothing.
