Blackjack

Blackjack is Solia's only real time muti-player game so far. All players sit around a card table and play Blackjack (aka 21) with Bunii. Though there can be up to 5 players at the table, all players only need to beat Bunii to win.
==Getting a Table==
When going to play you have a choice of making your own table (options found at the bottom right of the main screen) or joining someone else's table. The list of currently available tables is in the middle of the main screen. You can also choose to spectate (watch others at the table play) but if at any time you wish to join in you'll have to leave and rejoin the table.
When creating a table you'll need to select a buy-in. This means the amount of tokens you bid against Bunii. The buy-in can be as little as 5 tokens or as high as 10 thousand tokens per hand. Be careful; if you win you double your tokens but if you lose to Bunii she takes your entire bet!
==Blackjack Strategy==
Blackjack is a simple game. You either hit (take cards) or stay (pass turn) with the goal of making your cards add up to 21. Though the game will do the counting for you, (your current number is seen beside your cards) you never know what the next card pulled will be, so it can be difficult to win. A common strategy is "stay on 17". This is a simple strategy of odds: if you have 16 or lower, chances are the next card will not make you bust (put your total over 21) so it's safe to take another. However, if your current count is 17 or higher, you want to pass to Bunii because there's a very high chance that another card will make you bust. Bunii is programmed to play just like a real casino table runner, so if you have experience with playing in the past, it can be applied here!
