The card game 21: the three games of the main clear, Survival and Survival+, and the trump-card goals.
21 is a blackjack-style card game played from a chair: no walking, no shooting, and no clock on your turn. Win three games in a row for the first trophy; that opens Survival, and Survival opens Survival+. Every mode replays from the menu, so nothing in this tape can be missed, and the trump cards you unlock along the way stay unlocked for later games.
21 · Card table – From the title menu choose Extra Content, then Banned Footage, then 21 (it comes with Banned Footage Vol. 2). Each turn you draw a card or stay; cards run from 1 to 11, one of each in a shared deck, and each player keeps one card face down. The total nearest 21 without going over takes the round (if both go over, the lower total wins). This first game has no trump cards: every lost round costs fingers equal to your bet, which rises by one each round, and a drawn round costs both players. Keep winning until your opponent has no fingers left.
Summary
The first of the three games that make up a clear of 21.
21 · Card table – Straight after the first game. Each player now starts with two trump cards, gets one more each round and sometimes another when drawing. A lost round raises your shock level by your bet, a drawn round shocks both, and whoever reaches level 10 loses. One-Up and Two-Up add to your opponent's bet while they stay on the table, and Shield cards cut your own.
21 · Card table – A saw starts in the middle of the table and slides toward each round's loser by that player's bet; drawn rounds don't count. Early on you are dealt Love Your Enemy, which makes your opponent draw the best card for him: hold on to it. When one more loss would finish him, he plays Perfect Draw and Desperation (both bets jump to 100 and you can't draw, not even with a trump card); play Love Your Enemy then, and the card he is forced to take sends him over 21. The other way: raise his bet in the round before, so the saw reaches him before the cheat comes.
21 · Survival – Pick Survival on the 21 menu: five opponents in a row, fingers at stake again, and trump cards from the start. The fifth is a Molded Hoffman who opens with Curse, a card that discards a random one of your trump cards and forces you to take the highest card still in the deck. Beating him pops the trophy, opens Survival+ and adds Perfect Draw+ to your cards; a run with no torture at all also adds Ultimate Draw.

Location
21 · Survival – Every trump card you knock off the opponent's side of the table counts toward a running total across games: 10 adds Destroy+ (clears his side), 20 adds Destroy++ (clears his side and stops him playing trump cards while it stays down). Play your Destroy cards whenever he lays cards down, in Survival or in replays, until both are yours.

Location
21 · Survival+ – Pick Survival+ on the 21 menu: ten opponents in a row under the shock rules, and they play better. Mr. Big Head may turn up as the seventh or ninth; his Escape card makes him leave at the end of the round, so hit him with bet raises and Destroy cards at once. The tenth, Undead Hoffman, plays Dead Silence (you can't draw while it is down) and Oblivion (the round is thrown out): save Destroy++ for him, then raise his bet.
