# About Cards 21

Cards 21 is a classic card game where you compete against the dealer to get as close to 21 as possible without going over. The game is simple to learn but offers strategic depth as you decide whether to "hit" and take another card or "stand" and stick with your current hand. Each card has a value, and your goal is to have a higher hand value than the dealer without exceeding 21.

The core gameplay involves assessing your hand and predicting the dealer's next move. You'll need to carefully consider the odds and manage your risk to maximize your winnings. This game is a fun and engaging way to test your luck and strategic thinking.

## How to Play

1.  **Start the Game:** Place your bet.
2.  **Receive Cards:** You and the dealer receive two cards each. One of the dealer's cards is face down.
3.  **Your Turn:** Decide whether to "hit" (take another card) or "stand" (keep your current hand).
4.  **Dealer's Turn:** Once you stand, the dealer reveals their face-down card and must hit until their hand totals 17 or more.
5.  **Determine the Winner:** The hand closest to 21 wins. If you go over 21 (bust), you lose. If the dealer busts and you don't, you win.
