A card game and method of play combining features of blackjack and poker is disclosed. Like blackjack, the object of the card game is to obtain an aggregate card value nearest to twenty-one. However, each participating player is playing against all other players for a pot. The pot is formed from antes and bets made during the game. In one version, each player is dealt an initial card. The initial card may be dealt face down or face up. Like poker, after receiving the initial cards, the players, beginning with a player designated to act first, participate in at least one betting round. Depending on the game, players may fold, check, call, bet or raise during the betting round. After a first betting round, remaining players draw additional cards, if desired, to obtain an aggregate card value nearest to a pre-established total (e.g., twenty-one). The player nearest to the pre-established total, without going over, wins the pot. Other features include multiple betting rounds, blind bets and varied pre-established totals (e.g., thirty-one).
