Hello how may I help you? How do I win at blackjack? To win at blackjack, you need to score closest to 21 without going over. How many cards do I start with? Each player starts with two cards. What are the face cards worth? Face cards are worth 10. Great thanks! Is there anything special I should know? An ace is worth 1 or 11. So an Ace and a 10 wins the game? Correct. An ace and a 10 is worth 21 points. This is also known as a "blackjack". Thank you!
