BJ, or short for Blackjack (not to be confused with Blowjob), is a popular card game played in casinos, where players compete against the dealer rather than each other. The objective is to have a hand value as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it. Each player is dealt two cards, and the dealer gets two, with one face-down. The numbered cards (2-10) are worth their face value, face cards (J,Q,K) are worth 10 points, and A can be 1 or 11 depending on what benefits the player more. Players can choose to Hit (draw a card) or Stand (keep their current hand), but if a player’s hand exceeds 21, they "bust" and lose immediately. If your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, you win. If the dealer busts, all remaining players win. If you get 21 on the first two cards (an A + any card with 10 points), that’s a Blackjack (BJ) and you win immediately.
