Eurogames true By:Stewart Woods Published on 2012-12-14 by McFarland While board games can appear almost primitive in the digital age, eurogames—also known as German-style board games—have increased in popularity nearly concurrently with the rise of video games. Eurogames have simple rules and short playing times and emphasize strategy over luck and conflict. This book examines the form of eurogames, the hobbyist culture that surrounds them, and the way that hobbyists experience the play of such games.

With the advancement of technology, however, blackjack is not only popular in casinos, but online blackjack is one of the most popular forms of online entertainment.

Your opponent is the dealer and only the dealer. Play begins with all of the players receiving two cards, both face down. The dealer, of...
