Abstract
A card game in which a dealer deals a hand of cards to each player(s) and each player having the option of sticking with the dealt cards or drawing additional cards until the player sticks or busts. Irrespective of the number of cards dealt to a player, before proceeding to the next player, the dealer deals at least one continuation card in respect of the player's hand, until the total value of that player's hand equals or exceeds the specified maximum value. After all the players have played their hands, the dealer draws additional cards, until the dealer either sticks or the value of the dealer's hand equals to or exceeds the specified maximum. The dealer loses the hand based upon a comparison of a total value of the hands of the remaining player(s) hand and the dealer.
