Blackjack's goal is easy. The winner is those who get 21 or is closest to it. If you get over 22, you lose (you burn). Blackjack starts with 2 cards dealt to you and 1 card for the dealer. You can then choose to draw a 3rd card, say Pass, double the bet, or split if you have 2 identical cards. After your choice, the dealer hands you out a third card.
