Objective

Get as close to 31 points as possible with three cards of the same suit, or get three of a kind.

Card Values

• Ace: 11 points
• King, Queen, Jack: 10 points each
• Number cards: Face value (2-10)

How to Play

1. Each player starts with 3 cards and 3 lives
2. On your turn, draw a card from the deck or discard pile
3. Then discard one card to the discard pile
4. Try to get the highest score with cards of the same suit
5. When you think you have a good hand, you can "knock"
6. After someone knocks, each other player gets one final turn

Scoring

• Same suit: Add up the values of cards in your best suit
• Three of a kind: Automatic 30.5 points
• 31 points: Automatic win for the round

Losing Lives

• Lowest score each round loses a life
• Ties share the loss
• When you lose your last life, you're "on the cloud" - one more loss eliminates you
• Last player standing wins!
