About the Game

Grit is a tiny intense Blackjack-like. It is a game of Information. Just like Blackjack, each player is trying to have a board closest to, but not over, 21. Multiple games of Grit are often played in a set, with the first player to 50 points winning. A single game of Grit lasts 2-5 minutes.

A single game of Grit contains only 12 cards, and of those 12, only 10 will ever be seen. Each player begins with a starting hand of 4 cards that they keep hidden, and a single visible card in their board (along with 2 empty spaces).

The game takes place in 4 rounds, during which each player plays a card from their hand to any space on any board. Playing on top of a previously played card replaces it.

The goal is to, by the end of the game, have a board that totals the closest or equal to 21, but not over 21. (If a player’s board totals over 21 during a game that’s fine.)
