## Description

Twenty-One

The Russian version of blackjack, known back home as Ochko. Same idea: get to 21
and do not go over. But the deck is different, and that changes the whole game.

There are only 36 cards, and the picture cards are nearly worthless. A King gives
you 4, a Queen 3, a Jack just 2. An Ace counts as 11, but if that would bust you,
it quietly turns into a 1. Everything else is worth what is printed on it. Big
cards are rare, so busting is harder than you expect, and it all comes down to
one question: take another or stop.

Two aces in hand is the golden one. It beats everything, even a clean 21.

Against the bot

It plays like a dealer: draws to 17, and if it is still behind you, keeps pushing
and risks going over. A good warm-up before you face real people.

Against players

Everyone in the lobby shows up in a list. Pick an opponent, set your stake, send
the challenge. They accept, you take turns, and the winner takes the whole pot.
You can pull a friend in straight through Steam.

Coins and decks

You start with 1000 coins. Run out and it is no big deal: tap for more or claim
the daily bonus, somewhere between 1000 and 5000 at random, once a day.

Coins buy card decks: ice, fire, gold, sakura, emerald. Pure cosmetics, they
change nothing about the rules. And your deck only shows on your own cards, your
opponent sees theirs.

There is a global leaderboard as well: the richest players across every server
at once.

Also inside

A tutorial from scratch if you have never played. Full English and Russian,
cards included. And calm background music that ducks out of the way whenever a
card lands.


## Updates

### 1.0.2

Aug 18, 2026 · Version 1.0.2

now seat 2 to 6 players, you pick the size when you create one
**Added**

- now seat 2 to 6 players, you pick the size when you create one
- Everyone puts in the same stake and you all play for one pot, six players at 50 coins makes a pot of 300
- The whole pot goes to one winner, closest to 21 without going over
- A tie at the top does not split the pot, the players who tied go again between themselves, everyone else is out and the pot carries over untouched
- Everyone confirms before a new hand starts, then a three second countdown, and you can still walk away during it
- Twenty seconds on every turn, run out of time and the obvious move is played for you
- Everyone at the table is shown with their Steam avatar, their score and their cards, so you can watch the whole table play
- Three daily tasks, one easy, one medium and one hard, worth 1000, 2000 and 3000 coins
- The set is the same for every player and changes at midnight, so you can compare notes with the people you play against
- Twenty five tasks in the pool: win hands, play hands, land exactly 21, catch two aces, win a pile of coins, tap the coin, and one that pays you for going over 21
- Time spent in the game counts wherever you are, at a table, waiting in a lobby or sitting in the menu
- A dot appears on the Earn coins button when there is something waiting to be taken

**Improved**

- The lobby list shows how many seats at a table are taken out of how many
- Whoever is on turn now glows, and the player who took the pot is marked in gold
- The Earn coins screen was rebuilt to hold everything at once, and the back button moved to the corner so you do not have to scroll past the whole screen to leave

**Fixed**

- A new hand no longer starts the instant the last one ended, so winning does not drag you straight into another round before you can leave
- Someone who runs out of coins mid session no longer blocks the table, it waits and says what it is waiting for

### 1.0.1

Aug 15, 2026 · Version 1.0.1

Tables in the lobby, create your own with a stake or sit down at someone else's, the hand starts the moment the second player sits down
**Added**

- Tables in the lobby, create your own with a stake or sit down at someone else's, the hand starts the moment the second player sits down
- Every open table is listed with its stake and whether it is free or already playing
- Profile screen with your full record: hands played, wins, win rate, losses, exact 21s, golden hands, busts, 21 from six cards, duels won, best balance, bonuses claimed and decks bought
- Your Steam avatar sits in the corner, click it or the Profile button to open the profile
- Achievement progress is shown right under your name, how many you have and what they are worth

**Improved**

- The lobby was rebuilt around tables, no more sending a challenge to one person and waiting to hear back
- The corner of the screen was rebuilt, the avatar now stands next to your coins instead of the coins hanging there alone
- Coins, the Profile button and the avatar read as one block, same text size across all three
- The stake you picked is now clearly highlighted, so you can see what you are about to play for

**Fixed**

- Duels only work with players already in your lobby, there is no matchmaking yet, so pull a friend in through Steam or wait for someone to join

### 1.0

Aug 14, 2026 · Version 1.0

Twenty-One on a 36 card deck, the Russian rules where a King is 4, a Queen is 3, a Jack is 2, and an Ace drops from 11 to 1 when it would bust you
**Added**

- Twenty-One on a 36 card deck, the Russian rules where a King is 4, a Queen is 3, a Jack is 2, and an Ace drops from 11 to 1 when it would bust you
- Two aces is the golden hand and beats even a clean 21

**Improved**

- Cards are dealt one at a time out of the deck in the middle of the table instead of appearing all at once
- Every card carries a badge with the points it is worth, the values are not the ones you know from blackjack
- An ace shows 1 on the badge once the hand demotes it, so the cards always add up to the score you see
- Hands of nine and ten cards deal into their own slots
- Text contrast across every screen
