It's Blackjack, on your wrist, with a twist! It's Ranked! Are you exceptionally good at Blackjack? Or are you, you know, not that great? You'll start out in Walnut rank (as in "Smart as a walnut!") - can you make it to Gold rank, or maybe even Platinum rank? This game will teach you how to be better, the rest is up to you. After every game, based on both the outcome (win/lose) and the quality of your decision making, your Blackjack Elo rating will be adjusted. You are ranked vs. every other player worldwide and in real time - as your Blackjack Elo rating goes up (or down), so will your ranking. You are not playing against a dealer, and there is no betting. It one vs. one, head-to-head versus another person of similar skill. The other player sees your top card, and you see their top card - each of your other cards is hidden. They're showing a 7, you have 16. Do you hit? Remember, they aren't a dealer - you won't know what his other card is. And they can (and will, sometimes) hit on 17+. Every possible combination of outcomes has been tested with machine learning and empirical probabilities to know the odds of hitting vs. standing - so after every decision, you will get feedback on whether or not you made the right move. For those who know what they're doing, you can turn feedback off to get bigger good decision bonuses - but the wrong decision penalties will sting more. Win three of five hands to win the game, and see your new Blackjack Elo rating and ranking in real time. If you can crack the top ten highest ranked in the world, you'll see yourself on the leaderboards (and so will everybody else). So good luck, have fun, learn something, and watch out for soft 16s - they'll get you every time!

About

blkjk

Read full description

blkjk is a simple blackjack app for the Apple Watch. Request a hit to draw a card, try to get as close to 21 as possible, but careful, don't go over or you will bust and lose the round! If you feel confident, you may double to try and get more points, but careful, you only get one more card. If you have two cards with the same value, you may also split them into two different hands, allowing you to play those simultaneously. Once you're happy with your cards, and think the dealer won't be able to beat their total count, stand, and let the dealer draw their own cards! Whose cards' total is closest to 21, but doesn't bust, wins the round. In this game the dealer stands on all 17s. Throughout the game, try to get a bigger lead over the dealer to set a new high score.  You can set your preferences, or delete your high score in the game's settings.

Verdict

The call
