Pontoon is a 2-player card game played against another player or the computer, each player draws cards trying to be the closest to 21 without going over. The player always goes first, and starts with 2 cards. Each turn, the player can choose to stick or twist. Stick stays at the current card count, and twist draws an additional card. If the player reaches 21 or plays 5 cards they automatically win. Face cards are worth 10, and an ace can be 1 or 11. After the player sticks, the computer's first 2 cards are revealed, and the computer draws cards until they surpass the player, go over 21, or play a total of 5 cards. The game progresses until a player wins 10 hands.
