When a player feels confident in their hand, they may 'knock'.

The discarded card may be the same card they had just drawn. Then, they must discard a card (their hand will always have 3 cards by the end of their turn).

On a player's turn, they must either draw the top card of the discard pile or the top card of the deck.

Each round begins with the player left of the dealer and subsequent turns proceed clockwise.

*For PlayingCards.io, set each player's life counter to 3.

The remaining cards form the draw deck in the middle of the table.

The dealer then discards the top card of the deck to start the discard pile. Shuffle and deal each player 3 cards, one card at a time. EXAMPLE #3: A three-of-a-kind containing three 4's is worth 30 points). EXAMPLE #2: a hand of Ace-Hearts, 6-Diamonds and K-Clubs would have a value of 11 because the highest ranked card, the Ace, would be the only card counted as all cards are of different suits.

Cards only have value when they share the same suit as another card in hand, are the highest ranking card of three different suits, or are three-of-a-kind (EXAMPLE: a hand of King-Spades, 8-Spades and Ace-Clubs would have a value of 18 because only the King-Spades and 8-Spades are counted.

Card values in 31 are as follows: 2-10 = face value, J/K/Q = 10, A = 11 and three-of-a-kind of any rank is worth 30.

At the end of each round, the player who has the lowest value hand loses a life.

Each player starts the game with three 'lives'.

In 31, the goal of the game each round is to get the value of the three card hand closer to 31 than at least one other player.
