Love the job that you did here Karla! A one more note other than the ones that I've given. Probably read a little bit more on the syntax of a for loop! In both cases it's preferable to use a for loop as opposed to a while loop here!
Other than that I'm excited to see your blackjack!

It's nice that you've corrected Basics to fundamentals lol

Great that you've added this to help players know what the rules are
| var GAME_STATE_COMPARE_SCORES = "GAME_STATE_COMPARE_SCORES"; | ||
| var GAME_STATE_LEADERBOARD = "GAME_STATE_LEADERBOARD"; | ||
| //first step of the game | ||
| var gameState = GAME_STATE_DICE_ROLL; |

Great use of constant variables!
|
|
||
| // helper function = rollDice | ||
| var rollDice = function () { | ||
| console.log(`Control flow: start of rollDice()`); |

generally for a "completed code" we don't add console logs anymore. It's always best practice to remove these on submission
| while (counter < 2) { | ||
| currentPlayerRolls.push(rollDice()); | ||
| counter = counter + 1; | ||
| } |

ahem a for loop would be better here ahem
| console.log(`running player 2 score is: ${runningPlayerScore2}`); | ||
| j += 2; | ||
| } | ||
| }; |

this feels like a somewhat roundabout way of calculating the running sum of numbers, also if you're using i/j as an index here for a loop, it's ALWAYS best to keep the variable here, and not make it a global scope.
Now rather than having 2 separate loops here, we can make it more succinct with one loop through. As if let's say overallPlayersScore.length is something VERY big, it will take very long to complete 2 loops as opposed to just one.
We can probably make the loop like so:
for(var i = 0; i<overallPlayersScore.length; i+=1){
if(i%2 == 0){
runningPlayerScore1 += overallPlayersScore[i]
} else {
runningPlayerScore2 += overallPlayersScore[i]
}
}
this way it's only one loop through, and we did all the things!
| while (k < overallPlayersScore.length) { | ||
| player1Scores.push(overallPlayersScore[k]); | ||
| console.log(`summary player 1 scores: ${player1Scores}`); | ||
| var sortedPlayer1Scores = player1Scores.slice().sort(function (a, b) { |

love that you have a array.slice().sort() here!
...there's a new syntax to this tho, array.toSorted(function (a,b) {return b-a})
| return b - a; | ||
| }); | ||
| l += 2; | ||
| } |

same note to the looping above! might be more succinct to have one loop here.
