BlackJack is a DS homebrew card game based on the Blackjack which is played across the world that's been around for hundreds of years. This homebrew is designed with the intendion to appeal more to the more dedicated blackjack players, who wish to practice the game using rules that are common in their part of the world or local casino. This should involve giving the user as much information as possible about the state of the game at any given time, including win/loss stats, success of certain decisions etc.

User guide

Blackjack is a card game played with a dealer and a number of platers, with each player playing directly against the dealer and not against the other players. Usually played with anywhere from 1-8 decks of cards, the objective of the game is to get the total of your card to add up to as close to or equal to 21 without going over or busting.

This homebrew uses the same principle, with additional options that allows you to configure the following game settings:

  • Dealer stand on soft 17.
  • Can double after split.
  • Blackjack pays...
  • Can double on...
  • Number of decks.
  • Splits allowed.

At the end of the game, there will be a stats screen showing details of initial card dealt to the dealer, frequency of betting at each amount, etc.
