Seahorse Software presents BlackJack Run, a refreshing take on BlackJack, to the iPhone.

The objective of BlackJack run is to rack up as many points in consecutive rounds by getting 21 (or as close as you can get) in each of the five rows. Each round is timed, giving players 30 seconds to try to hit Blackjack or 21.

In each round players must meet the minimum point amount of 95 to move on which is not hard to do if players get the right cards.

Blackjack Run features leader boards and the ability to make the game harder if players feel that they’re dominating the game. After a while though the cards will catch up and players’ fire will be lost, causing them to start over.

BlackJack Run comes in two versions, the full version and the lite version. The full version is a little pricey for what you get at $4.99. The free version has all of the fun of the full version without the ability to make the game harder as well as limited access to the leader boards.

Allover, BlackJack Run is an addictive and fun game. It’s a great new take on Blackjack that hasn’t yet been explored on the iPhone. BlackJack Run is stable  and plays well. Not a must-have like other games reviewed here but definitely a worthy pick up for a card game-lover’s iPhone
