Overview
Players are dealt 3 cards and rotate playing cards towards a total of 31.
Game continues until the last player has lost all of their wager stacks.
How To Play
Each round players are dealt 3 cards. The deck is placed with the top card face up next to.
Aces are 11 points. Face cards are 10 points. All others are their number.
Totals are determined based on cards in the same suit. For example, 6-7-8 in three suits = 8 total. A-K-7 where the A-7 are hearts and the K is a club = 18 points.
Player to left of dealer may "Knock" or take a card.
If a player takes a card, they will also discard a card. They can take the face up card (discard pile) or the face down card.
Play continues around the table. If a player Knocks, they take no additional cards and the round ends when play reaches that player again.
Totals are determined for each player adding the cards in each suit and using the largest total. The players with the lowest total will lose a wager stack. If the winner has 31 points, then all other players lose a wage stack. If the player that knocks is the loser than they lose 2 wager stacks.
The deal rotates each round.
Ties
If two players lose their last stack at the same time (tie), then the first player knocked out wins the pot.
