Empire_mobile vs Blackjack Navy

Empire is a strategy and tactics war game, pitting you against the computer. The game is played on a computer generated map that contains land areas, sea areas, and cities. The object of the game is to eliminate the opponent by capturing cities and destroying the enemy forces. Cities once captured have production capability, and can produce units such as armies, fighters, destroyers, submarines, or carriers for offense or defense. Of course, the computer is trying to crush your forces and take over the world, as are you. Early in the game, exploration is most predominant, followed later by planned offensives and holding actions, till eventual victory or defeat. Warning, typical games can take as long as ten hours, and some people find the game addictive. The program keeps the game state in a disk file, and a single game usually takes multiple computer sessions. Since you can store the game on some cloud service (e.g. iCloud) you may also continue a game with the Mac version of Empire (https://apps.apple.com/de/app/empire/id1287139467?mt=12) and vice versa. Special credit goes to the author of the original game, Walter Bright.

Practice blackjack and improve your strategies. Overview: The rules of blackjack are simple. Your goal is to get your deck of cards as close as you can to 21 without going over. Ace cards can be worth either 1 or 11 points. Jack, King, and Queen cards are worth 10 points. Numbered cards 2-10 are worth their value. Your turn: On your turn, you can choose from four options. Hit - When you hit, you are delt a card. Careful, remember you do not want to exceed 21. Double - Think you have a good chance of winning if you are delt one card more? Double your bet and the dealer will give you exactly one more card. Stand - This action will keep your cards as is and the dealer will take their turn. Split - If you have two of the same card values, then you can choose to split your hand into two decks, and another card will be dealt to each. You can then perform the above actions on each of those decks. Dealer's turn: The dealer will then take their turn by revealing/dealing cards until it reaches a value greater than or equal to 17. Outcomes: You win if: - Your card count is greater than the dealer's (player bust). - The dealer's hand count exceeds 21. - Blackjack! Your first two cards total 21 (and the dealer does not also have a blackjack) The dealer wins if: - Your card count if greater than 21 (dealer bust). - The dealer's card count is greater than yours. If there is a tie in the player card count and dealer card count, you have a push and bets are returned. If you win, you get your bet back times 2. If you lose, the house takes your bet. Blackjacks result in 1.5 times the amount you bet.
