Game Logic

• The game follows the standard rules of Blackjack:
• The player starts with two random cards.
• Cards 2-10 are worth their face value.
• Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10.
• An Ace is worth 11 (but can be adjusted if it causes the sum to exceed 21).
• The player can draw additional cards to try and get as close to 21 as possible without going over.
• If the player's sum is exactly 21, they win. If it's over 21, they lose.
