Rules:
The object of the game is to be the last player standing, the object of each hand is to be equal to, or, as close as possible to, 31. Aces are worth 11 points, face cards are worth 10 and numbered cards are worth their pip value. Pick a dealer who shuffles a standard 52 card deck of playing cards and deals 3 cards to each player. Players look at their own hands but keep them hidden from their opponents. The remainder of the deck is placed face down in the middle of the table as a stock and the top card is flipped over to start a discard pile.
The player left of the dealer goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, draw one card from the top of the stock or discard pile and add it to your hand. Then discard any card from your hand to the discard pile. Then the next player clockwise goes. Only the value of cards from the same suit are added together. For example, in this hand the ace and 8 of spades are worth 19 points together, and the jack of hearts is worth 10 points by itself. This gives the hand a score of 19 points. The only exception is if you have a 3 of a kind, then it is worth 30 points no matter which suits are used.
When you’re confident with your hand’s score, you can knock on the table instead of drawing a card. Now, all the other players get 1 final turn to try and improve their hand. Once it gets back to you, all the players reveal their hands and the player with the lowest score loses 1 life. Once a player has lost 4 life they are out of the game. If the knocking player is the player with the lowest score, then they lose 2 life instead. The last player standing wins!

    I use to play with my Army buddies and if the knocker didn’t actually have the highest hand they lost a strike not the person with the lowest hand. Because it’s ballsy to knock and end the round and if you don’t have the highest hand you should pay for it lol.

    Bro, out of the last 2 players, one player knocks (he has exactly 31). Now, the next player gets last chance. If he also got 31, then who wins? In other words, if both got same score, who wins?

    Excuse the lengthy answer, just want to be thorough. Great question! It relates to the one rule/scenario @Triple S Games didn't cover and from what I was taught and my online research, it's a standard rule, not a variation. No loss of respect for this channel though. The rule is, a player that gets to 31 by drawing and discarding cards must declare it. The declaration effectively stops the round right then and there, and ALL other players lose a life including someone that may have knocked prior to the declaration. In your question, the person that has 31 would declare, not knock, and would win the entire game (assuming the other player had only 1 life left at the start of the round). This rule gives that much more credence to the name of the game. If a player(s) has 31 from the initial deal itself, do the same thing - declare, thus ending the round and everyone else loses a life. In your question, if both players are dealt 31, both players declare and simply re-deal. Hope this helps.

    At 1:17 you say that only the cards of the same suit are added together. Ace and Eight of spades = 19. What happens if they were different suits? Eg. Ace -diamonds, 8-spades, Jack-hearts? What would the score of this hand be?

    31 is the point cap(A+F or 10+ For 10= 31). At my family Christmas if you had 31 and knocked you revealed it and that last round if your hand didn't add up to 15 or more you lost a point along with the loser of the hand. The easy way to 'track life' was quarters and basically player it like poker winner got more quarters and there for more life.

    We’ve played that when any player gets 31 (whether they were dealt it, or drew it, or picked up from discard pile), they immediately lay it down and everyone else pays $1 to the kitty (everyone starts off $3.00). Even if you run out of $3, you’re now on ‘welfare’ but still in the game. I’ve seen people on welfare, still win the money.
