Blackjack board game

Abstract

Abstract A game of chance similar to blackjack is playable without a deck of blackjack playing cards. A plurality of player landing stations are provided on a game board in a predetermined sequence. Each such station has associated therewith a face value number which corresponds to the value of a pair of cards from a blackjack deck. A pair of dice is rolled initially to advance a player along the sequence of stations. In situations where the player thus advanced desires to receive the equivalent of another playing card, the dice are rolled again and the resulting numerical value is correlated probabilistically to predetermined card values. The correlated card value is then added to the base value number of the station on which the player has landed so as to provide a playing number. In embodiments where the numbers are correlated to the game of blackjack, a sum greater than 21 would be considered an immediate loss. The dealer is represented by a further game board which, in a preferred embodiment, is rotatable with a plurality of pie-shaped segments which are angularly dimensioned to correspond to the probability that the dealer would achieve a playing number 17 and 21. Thus, since the dealer is represented by a chance device, the game can be played by one or several players.
