Now, I’ll try to explain how you play. You use a deck of cards  and each player gets three cards, and the object of the game is to get 31, each player takes a turn drawing and discarding with the hopes of getting the right cards (same suit) to equal 31 or as close to it. Once you have or as close to 31 as you   think you can get, you must knock on the table before but not after your turn. Once a player knocks the remaining players get a final turn to get as close to 31 as they can, then everyone shows their cards and the player with the lowest amount pays into the pot. You can decide the amount of money you want to play with to make the game more interesting if your gambler. We just used pennies for fun. Now one last important thing if a player gets 31 they don’t have to wait to knock, they can immediatley lay down there cards and every player pays the pot. So that’s the jist of it, it’s a pretty fun game. If you need more information I think you can google Card Game 31. The evening was a lot of fun.
