Hi nemolovesdory,

What an interesting question.

Yes, Blackjack and 21 generally refer to the same card game. The game is often referred to as "Blackjack" in casinos and popular culture, but it's also known as "21" because the main objective of the game is to reach a hand value of 21 or as close to it as possible without exceeding it. ad3daf2d57_Blackjack_Card_Values.jpg

In Blackjack, players are dealt cards and have the option to "hit" (receive additional cards) or "stand" (keep their current hand) in order to achieve the goal of 21.

The game involves a player competing against the dealer, with certain rules for how the game is played and how hands are evaluated. 

So, whether you call it Blackjack or 21, you're usually referring to the same card game.
