Welcome to the engaging world of 21 Solitaire, a game that masterfully blends the strategic elements of Blackjack with the straightforward fun of solitaire.

Object:
Your goal is to accumulate as many points as you can before you run out of possible moves.
Gameplay:
To play, simply tap on a column to move the top card from the deck into that column. If the sum of the cards in a column reaches exactly 21, that column clears, paving the way for more scoring opportunities. Should you find yourself without a viable move, you're allowed to pass the card up to four times per deck. Once you've used all the cards in the deck, hit "New" to shuffle and start anew with a fresh set of cards.
Scoring:
Each card's value corresponds to its face value, with face cards (King, Queen, Jack) counting as 10, and Aces flexibly valued at either 1 or 11, just like in Blackjack. To add an extra layer of excitement, bonus points are awarded for achieving special combinations, such as a Blackjack or a 5 Card Charlie. This scoring system encourages strategic play and adds depth to the game.
So, are you ready to test your skills and see how you stack up against players worldwide? Dive into 21 Solitaire and chase that high score today!
