About this game

The objective of the game is to have a hand equal to or as close to 31 as possible.

At the beginning of a round each player receives 3 cards. The remaining deck forms that stock and it is place in the middle of the play area. The top card of the stock is flipped over, placed beside it and becomes the discard pile.

When it is their turn, players choose to either pick a card from the stock or from the discard pile and then they must discard one of their cards, all in an attempt to get a hand as close or equal to 31. Only cards of the same suit or a three of a kind count as points.

When a player is comfortable with their hand, they knock on the table. All other players then have one more draw to try and improve their hand. At any time, if a player collects 31 points the immediately opponent loses the round.

The player with the lowest hand loses for that round. If the player who knocks has the lowest hand, they give up a lost of 2 rather than 1. When a player loses 4 times, they are out of the game.

Scoring:
- Aces are worth 11 points
- Kings, Queens and Jacks are worth 10 points
- Every other card is worth their rank
- A three of a kind is worth 30 points

In this version of the game you can play against an AI bot or your friends via the Internet.
