now seat 2 to 6 players, you pick the size when you create one
Everyone puts in the same stake and you all play for one pot, six players at 50 coins makes a pot of 300
The whole pot goes to one winner, closest to 21 without going over
A tie at the top does not split the pot, the players who tied go again between themselves, everyone else is out and the pot carries over untouched
Everyone confirms before a new hand starts, then a three second countdown, and you can still walk away during it
Twenty seconds on every turn, run out of time and the obvious move is played for you
Everyone at the table is shown with their Steam avatar, their score and their cards, so you can watch the whole table play
Three daily tasks, one easy, one medium and one hard, worth 1000, 2000 and 3000 coins
The set is the same for every player and changes at midnight, so you can compare notes with the people you play against
Twenty five tasks in the pool: win hands, play hands, land exactly 21, catch two aces, win a pile of coins, tap the coin, and one that pays you for going over 21
Time spent in the game counts wherever you are, at a table, waiting in a lobby or sitting in the menu
A dot appears on the Earn coins button when there is something waiting to be taken

The lobby list shows how many seats at a table are taken out of how many
Whoever is on turn now glows, and the player who took the pot is marked in gold
The Earn coins screen was rebuilt to hold everything at once, and the back button moved to the corner so you do not have to scroll past the whole screen to leave

A new hand no longer starts the instant the last one ended, so winning does not drag you straight into another round before you can leave
Someone who runs out of coins mid session no longer blocks the table, it waits and says what it is waiting for

Tables in the lobby, create your own with a stake or sit down at someone else's, the hand starts the moment the second player sits down
Every open table is listed with its stake and whether it is free or already playing
Profile screen with your full record: hands played, wins, win rate, losses, exact 21s, golden hands, busts, 21 from six cards, duels won, best balance, bonuses claimed and decks bought
Your Steam avatar sits in the corner, click it or the Profile button to open the profile
Achievement progress is shown right under your name, how many you have and what they are worth

The lobby was rebuilt around tables, no more sending a challenge to one person and waiting to hear back
The corner of the screen was rebuilt, the avatar now stands next to your coins instead of the coins hanging there alone
Coins, the Profile button and the avatar read as one block, same text size across all three
The stake you picked is now clearly highlighted, so you can see what you are about to play for

Duels only work with players already in your lobby, there is no matchmaking yet, so pull a friend in through Steam or wait for someone to join

Twenty-One on a 36 card deck, the Russian rules where a King is 4, a Queen is 3, a Jack is 2, and an Ace drops from 11 to 1 when it would bust you
Two aces is the golden hand and beats even a clean 21
Play against the bot, it draws to 17 and keeps pushing when it is behind you
Duels against real players, pick someone in the lobby, set a stake, the winner takes the whole pot
Invite a friend straight through Steam from the duel lobby
1000 coins to start, the balance lives on the s&box backend and follows you across every server
Earn screen with a coin to tap and a daily bonus of 1000 to 5000 coins, once a day
Card shop with six decks: classic, ice, fire, sakura, gold and emerald
Your deck shows only on your own cards, your opponent sees theirs
Global leaderboard of the richest players across all servers
24 achievements worth 1000 points in total
Step by step tutorial for anyone who has never played
Full English and Russian, cards included, picture cards are drawn in the right alphabet
Calm background music that ducks out of the way whenever a card lands
Separate volume sliders for sound and music

Cards are dealt one at a time out of the deck in the middle of the table instead of appearing all at once
Every card carries a badge with the points it is worth, the values are not the ones you know from blackjack
An ace shows 1 on the badge once the hand demotes it, so the cards always add up to the score you see
Hands of nine and ten cards deal into their own slots
Text contrast across every screen
