- The rules of the 21 Questions game are simple, you sit and ask the questions, this goes well if it’s just the two of you but in case you are more than 2 people, it’s important that you decide the sequence of playing the game or else you will end up creating a chaos. To begin with, you can sit in a circle or around a table, one person starts asking the question which is answered by the person sitting next to him/her followed by other people in the series.
- Waana play the classic 21 questions game with someone new? But you lack questions? Well, it happens to the best of us. While trying to get to know someone, you can’t keep on asking the usual questions like “what’s up?”, And “how was your day?”. You need to ask the right questions that can give you an insight into the person’s life and habits; that’s where the 21 questions game can come into play.

How to play 21 Card Game:
There are many variations on the rules for 21 Card Game, but here is how we play:
- We don’t bet – it is just all about the numbers!
- We take turns in being the dealer – 5 hands each.
- Aim of the 21 Card Game is to get 21 or as close to as possible.
- Number cards have their face value, jacks, kings and queens are worth 10. Ace can be either 1 or 11 and the player who holds the ace gets to choose the value of the card.
- The dealer and all other players have two cards. With the exception of the dealer the players have their cards face up. The dealer has one card up and one card face down.
- The dealer goes to each player one at a time. The player needs to decide if they want another card (hit) or will sit on what they have. You can have as many cards as you like as long as you don’t go over 21.
- The dealer does this with every player. Players are not competing against each other, but against the dealer.
- The dealer then turns over their other card and needs to decide what to do. If the dealer has 16 or under then they must take another card.
- If the dealer has 21 (Ace and a ten value card) the dealer wins.
- If the dealer goes bust then everyone else wins.
- We reshuffle the deck of cards after every game.
