About this game

Card Golf & 31 brings two classic card games together in one app: the low-score strategy of Card Golf and the fast, tactical card game 31, also known as Scat, Blitz or Ride the Bus. Play solo against smart AI opponents or challenge real players online.

Both games share your profile, settings and a single Ad-Free Upgrade.

## CARD GOLF

Finish with the **LOWEST score** over nine rounds.

Your cards are dealt face down in a grid, and you peek at two cards to start. On your turn, draw from the closed deck or take the face-up card from the discard pile, then swap it into your grid or throw it away. Match the two cards in a column and that entire column scores zero. Remember what you have seen, improve your hand and decide when to knock.

### Card Golf Modes

* **4 Card Mode** — faster, sharper games, and the only Card Golf mode with a knock
* **6 Card Mode** — the classic Card Golf experience
* **8 Card Mode** — longer and more strategic games
* **Online Multiplayer** — play 4 Card Mode against a real opponent

### Card Golf Card Values

* Joker = -2
* King = 0
* Ace = 1
* Jack and Queen = 10
* All other cards = face value

## 31 (SCAT)

Build a three-card hand worth as close to **31 as possible using cards of one suit**.

Only cards from your strongest suit count toward your score. Three cards of the same suit can reach 31, while cards of different suits score only the highest card in your best suit.

Draw and discard to improve your hand, then knock when you believe you can avoid having the lowest score.

Reach **31** and declare it immediately. Every other player loses a life.

Everyone starts with three lives. Lose your last life and you are eliminated. The last player remaining wins.

31 is also known as **Scat, Blitz and Ride the Bus**, depending on the ruleset and region.

### 31 Modes

* **2, 3 and 4 Player Tables** against AI opponents
* **Online Multiplayer** — challenge a real opponent head to head

### 31 Card Values

* Ace = 11
* King, Queen and Jack = 10
* All other cards = face value
* Three of a kind = 30.5

A 30.5 three-of-a-kind beats any 30-point hand but still loses to 31.

Ratings and reviews

Fun game, but I would give it a much higher rating if the following were fixed: 1) Everytime I switch apps I have to restart the game from the beginning, including waiting through the ads 2) the AI players are annoyingly stupid 3) no multiplayer option, not even pass and play 4) needs options in the rules, like the player who ends the round should get an extra 10 points if they don't have the lowest score. I'd be willing to pay for an ad-free version that fixed the first two issues.

LISTEN - PLEASE Fix This Problem! After I updated the game, when the round is ending, I am unable to draw my last card from the deck. The message and red dot about the round ending interfers. My only option is to replace one of my cards with the previous discard when I don't want it. Thanks.

The rules aren't explained very well and the points system doesn't really make sense. Seems to just make a score and some times it makes you switch the card regardless if that's what you want to do.. and aren't you supposed to be able to flip a card essentially "missing" a turn ??
