My first attempt at game development in Godot, to get a feel for the process. Nothing fancy, just something simple to put out into the world.

This is a variation on blackjack with slight rule changes. The goal is the same: to beat the dealer without going over 21.

The normal stuff:

  • Cards are scored the same
  • The dealer always plays until it reaches at least 17 or busts
  • Hit, Stand, Double-Down are all the same
  • Surrender is available

The twists:

  • No splits or insurance
  • "Short" - Similar to double-down, except you want to score LESS than the dealer
  • "Blind" - Take a card face-down, and force the dealer to play first before revealing your total

After progressing far enough into the shoe, the cards are reshuffled and the minimum bet doubles. How long can you last?

The game ends when you don't have enough money to cover the minimum bet. You can start over as many times as you'd like.
