Feedback on a Puzzle Blackjack game

[JeffLaird]

Hi there! I have recently released a small solo-project mobile game and would love some feedback from Blackjack experts.

The game is sort of a mix of solitaire and Blackjack. It’s called Puzzle 21, and players try to get the most points from a deck of cards by forming hands that add to 21.

It’s not a traditional Blackjack app, but folks that are good at Blackjack tend to get much better scores.

Friends that are avid Blackjack players have found the game really engaging. I think it is because can exercise their skills in a different way.

If you’d like to try it out you can download it at puzzle21.com/play

I’d really appreciate any feedback you have, and in particular what you think would make the game more engaging for Blackjack players.

Thanks heaps!

Not my thing tbh. I play blackjack because I enjoy beating it for actual money. Blackjack-like puzzle games hold zero appeal to me.

Puzzle 21 is a simple game and I wouldn't get much enjoyment out of it and I'm no BJ expert. On the other hand it's cool that you can program and create your own app/phone games as they are popular. A product I would like to see hit the market in 2022 would be a video game called, "Casino Blackjack." Ken Smith should take his BJ strategy trainer and he should put it on the Intellivision Amico by contacting Tommy Tallarico, the CEO of Intellivision. The BJ strategy trainer could use a graphics upgrade and the penetration should be able to be tweaked to match what a player is seeing in their venue. The strategy trainer should also be programmed to allow for multiple players couch co-op. It would also be nice if a player could select which counting strategy they want to use before play begins, in which the program keeps the count on the correct RC and TC if needed which could be toggled on or off by the player. Such a game could be beneficial in attracting new blood to an old game.
