Kenshi

Blind Black Jack
Each player is trying to make 21 on as many of their blind cards they can. They are dealt four cards backside up on the table and five cards on their hand. When it is their turn, they turn any card right side up on their side and try to match a card or more than one card from their hand to make 21 on the opened card.

The hand gets a refill after each turn, but the table cards are only changed after all four blind cards on each player side are used. The winner of the round is decided after both players have used their table cards. The Blind Jack is the mere impossibility of getting four times 21=84, this usually means they cheated.
If none get exact 84, the one closest to 84 points wins. Be it over or under.

Once a blind card is catered the player may not move the card(s) on it to other cards later. The gamble is, you have to at least play one card, can you make it to 21 or do you risk putting a card you might need later on it?

Catcrawlers
This game is inside Kenshi. Think twice if you want to read the dice symbol values below. The game is so much more fun trying to figure out them yourself.

Values of the dice:

Spoiler:  
Show
wolf tail 6
buxom red 5
chubby nine 4
stoneroller 3
hungry gutter 2
arrow 1
plank 0


The player rolls first. The player then has to gamble does the host roll under the value (fish) or over the value (roll back). The host rolls. If the player guessed right they win cats. The smaller the chance, the bigger the win.
If the host manages to roll the dice overboard it's zero.

Why do I think the playing order is this way? Because of the zero. All the player would need to do is to decide to go under every time and just toss the dice on the floor intentionally. Having the host to roll last makes this option impossible.

What I think where the 'numbers' to this game come from: The gutter head looks like a 1, the buxom is referring to chest, so it is a 3, arrow is obviously 4 and the chubby nine is six upside down. 2 and 5 are little more ambiguous but if you look them from the side, you can kinda see the 5 looks like a steamroller. And I think the devs just went from steamroller to stoneroller which is a fish. And it kinda does look a fish too. And 2 looks like squirrel's tail. But no squirrels in game, so wolf. But wait, the wolfs do not have any tails in Kenshi, WTF.
It turns out, wolftail is a plant.

Now somewhere in the aeons the meaning of the numbers were lost and this is why the values do not match the figures any more.
