<span class="mu-r">”The game we will be playing is called <span class="mu-s">Supernova</span>. The rules are simple. There are fifty two cards in the deck, each with a number representing stellar masses from one to ten. The value of ten also has twelve extra copies of complete stars in the deck. Your cards combine their masses together. The object of the game is to get as close to the stellar mass of <span class="mu-s">twenty one</span>, or to go SUPERNOVA! But if you go <span class="mu-i">over</span> twenty one, your star collapses into a black hole, and you lose the hand.”</span>
You nod for it to continue. You've never played this game, so trying to learn it off the cuff like this is challenging. Of course, the Aristocrat would only pick something where it has a distinct advantage. The game seems like a game of risk and reward though, you'll have to be careful not to go over...
<span class="mu-r">”Each hand, you can choose to stand or stay, OR you can choose to hit, adding more stellar mass to your hand. You will go first. I, as the dealer, will be limited in what I can do. I must stop on any mass of 17 or higher. However, there is one more special card; the <span class="mu-s">Pulsar</span>, of which there are four in the deck, can count as a value of 1 or 11. It will automatically count as the smaller value if the value of the hand goes over 21. Because there is a lot of randomness in the game, we'll say that the first of us to get to... three wins will win the pot. Your freedom, or the medical debt. Ready?”</span>
