About the Game

The Tower of 21 is a new take on Blackjack, where the stakes are your life.

Starting with two cards, each player must get to 21 or as close as possible.

The player with the highest score without going over 21 wins the round.

Above, 5 strings hold a knife above your head. Each loss of a round, a string snaps.

Don't let it be the last one.

Use your blood money to buy cards to give you the upper hand. Burn your entire hand, look at your opponents draw, look at the top card of your deck.

Do what you can to stop that last string from snapping.

Utilize amulets found within the Tower. Force your opponents to draw, cut out the bad cards from your deck, survive a knife fall.

Manipulate your chances, don't play by the rules.

But be careful, the Tower also does not play by the rules, with the Guardians of the Tower bending the rules to their advantage or a curse placed upon you, the game may never be the same.

Welcome to the Tower of 21.

Because you can't feel alive without the presence of death.
