The penguin behind the table greets you with typical penguin cordiality: "Welcome to the 11 tables, ya mook. What're you staring at? <u>Don't you know how to play?</u>"

"If you know how to play, then place your bets or move along. I ain't standing here for my health! Pasta Fazool!"

You step up to the table, ready to play a game of 11.

==Notes==
*Optimal play for 11 while always betting 11 {{plural|Crimbuck}} will give a net gain of approximately 4.134 {{plural|Crimbuck}}/adventure spent.
*You may spend adventures here even whilst [[Drunkenness#Falling-Down Drunk|falling-down drunk]].
*If you receive 5 cards without busting, you get the message "5 cards without busting, you win!" which gives the normal 2:1 win payout.
*You can Double Down on a 5 or 6, which doubles your bet, but you get only one more card.
*Deck composition is four suits composed of 2 through 5, King, and Ace.
*The dealer doesn't instantly win if he has 11!  If you get 11! or draw 5 cards you always win (he won't check his down card).
*Due to the additional payout on "11!"s, this game is biased in your favor. The expected average return with optimal play is 37.58% above your initial wager.
*The maximum bet is 11 {{plural|Crimbuck}}, unless you double down.
*The dealer will always hit on 8, even if already showing 5 cards.  There are two sequences where this will occur: 222AA, AAA4A
*Trying to play with no adventures remaining gets you the message "And then realize that you don't have any time left for a game!"

==References==
* "Pasta Fazool!" is a common pronunciation of the Italian dish [[Wikipedia:Pasta fagioli|Pasta fagioli]]
*The design on the back of the cards has a unicycle, which is a reference to [http://www.bicyclecards.com Bicycle] brand playing cards.
*The game is similar to [[wikipedia:Blackjack|Blackjack]] (a.k.a. 21).  Being KoL, this game only goes up to [[eleven]].
