About Black Jacky
As you might guess from the name, Black Jacky has its origins in blackjack, with players trying to get as close to 21 as possible, but they can do more than take a card or stand. At the start of play, everyone receives two of the extra-large mice cards at random, with these cards being valued 1-8. Players can use these cards for the special powers on them, perhaps forcing another player to hand over one card or having two players swap a card with one another face down. Whoever goes over 21 loses a heart, and if you lose all your hearts, you're eliminated. Whoever last has hearts wins!
