Cards are determined by rolling a 13-sided die (/dice 13):
1 = Ace (can be valued as 1 or 11)
2-10 = Face value
11 = Jack, 12 = Queen, 13 = King (all valued at 10)

Gameplay & Dealer's Role

Each player and the dealer start with two cards.The dealer's cards:
First card is hidden (hole card).
Second card is face-up.The dealer rolls for you and keeps track of your total, so players do not need to roll themselves.Players place their bets before the round starts by giving them to the dealer.
