Description

Blackjack-Tar is a variant of Blackjack that uses six black dice instead of the usual deck of cards.

On set-up, each player adds five tokens to the pot. Players take turns, starting with the youngest player.

On their turn, a player bets one to three tokens, adding them to the pot, then rolls the dice one by one until they either quit or bust by rolling over 21.

If a player quits, they receive a payout depending on what they rolled. 16 or fewer has no payout. 17 through 21 gives a payout of 1 through 5 times your bet, respectively. A street (rolling one through six) gives you the entire jackpot. There is no dealer to try and match your roll.

The game ends when the pot is empty, and the winner is the player with the most tokens.

Unlike other black jack dice games, this game uses regular six-sided dice, as opposed to ten- or twelve-sided dice or dice that use suits or the letters J/Q/K/A.
