The object of the game is to obtain a hand with a point total closest to 9. Card values are:
- Aces
count as one
- Cards 2 through 9
count as their face value
- Tens and face cards
count as zero
If the value of the hand is ten points or more, subtract ten, and the remainder is the Baccarat point value of the hand. Examples: 7 + 6 = 13 becomes 3, or 4 + 6 = 10 becomes 0.
