21 Is Not Just A Blackjack game
Actually this is a basket ball game with 21 as the winning score. First, all players take a turn taking a foul shot to “break the ice”. The first to “break the ice” gets 2 points and gets to go first. Each foul shot after breaking the ice is worth 1 point. This is not just about foul shots, however. When the foul shooter misses the other players go for the rebound and try to score – this is where the points add up. Scoring off the rebound gets you 2 points. If a player catches the rebound with both hands, in the air, and makes the basket without touching the ground the foul shooter goes back to zero.. But, if a player catches the rebound with one hand and makes the basket the foul shooter is out completely and must wait for the next game. The foul shooter can only make 3 in a row. If that happens they get the ball at the top of the key and try to make a basket against all the other players defense.
