THAT player loses that round and pays a chip. when the round gets back to the player that knocked you all show your cards to see who has the lowest of 31. each turn you try to get high or closer to 31 if you think you have higher hand than someone else you pick up your card from the deck or the draw pile that’s face up than you knock, that means everyone gets one last turn to play. start by trying to get 31 before someone knocks or throws down 31. NO chips will be used until you lose a round. cards are face value 10-to king is 10 points ace is 11. everyone picks up their cards and person to the right of the dealer plays first. The way played: you need 3 chips (we used nickles).ĭealer deals 3 cards, right to left, than deck goes face down as draw pile with one card facing up.
This is not the way we play 31, I have been playing 31 much of my life and we have never played with the rules posted. If a player knocks before the first round of exchanges have begun, the showdown occurs immediately with no exchange of cards.Īfter the pot has been won, all the players put in chips for the next hand. If there is a tie in the highest cards, the next highest cards are compared, and so on.Īny time a player holds exactly 31, they may "knock" immediately, and they win the pot. Example: K, Q, 6 (total 26) would beat Q, 9, 7 (also total 26). If there is a tie for the highest score, the player with the highest-ranking card wins. The player with the highest total value of cards of the same suit wins the pot. Then there is a showdown in which the players reveal their hands and compare values. All other players then get one more turn to exchange cards. A player indicates this by "knocking" on the table. Players take turns, clockwise around the table, until one player is satisfied that the card values they hold will likely beat the other players. (Variation: Players may exchange any number of cards with the widow in this manner.) On each turn, a player may take one card from the widow and replace it with one card from their hand (face up). The player on the dealer's left has the first turn. Three cards are dealt face down to each player then three cards are dealt face up for a "widow." The Playīefore play begins, all players put an equal amount of chips into a pot.
The players cut for deal and the lowest card deals, the turn to deal alternates to the left. Rank of CardsĪ (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (low) Card Values/ScoringĪn Ace counts 11 points, face cards count 10 points, and all other cards count their face value. The goal is to obtain a hand that totals 31 in cards of one suit or to have a hand at the showdown whose count in one suit is higher than that of any other player.
