The aim of the game is to score more points then your opponents with a set of three cards.

The game is played in several rounds, until only one player remains in the game.

Every round is structured as following.

At first, every player receives 3 cards. A starting player gets to decide, if they want to keep their cards or play them on the table to draw three new ones. If the three cards are kept, three cards from the deck will be drawn for the table.

From then players have the following options: exchange one handcard with a card from the table, exchange all handcards with the table cards, pass (if activated in gameoptions) or close the round.

Closing the round is only possible, when every player has played once. Then every other player gets to play an additional turn before the hands are evaluated.

In contrast to the usual game, once a player has a hand of 31 points, they automatically end the round and the evaluation is proceeded, leaving no last turn for the others.

The value of a hand depends on the gameoptions.

Gameoption "Only Color":

Cards are valued by Ace=11, King Queen and Jack are 10, or the value that stands on them.

If a hand consists of two or three card of the same color (that is club,spade,hearth and diamond), the values can be added.

Hence, the maximal value of a hand is 31. That's also the gamename in German (Einunddreizig) or French (Trente-et-un).

Gameoption "Color and triples":

Additionally to the option of collecting cards of the same color, a player can also collect a three-of-a-kind set of the same rank.

Such a triple is always valued 30.5 points.

Gameoption "Color or same value":

Additionally to the color also the values of same-ranked cards can be added, giving also the option to collect two cards of a rank to add them. However a hand e.g. 777 is valued 3*7=21, not 30.5. A hand AAA is valued 30, not 33 (if not playing with fire).

After the evaluation players lose virtual lives, depending on the gameoption. Players who have less then 0 lives are eliminated. So, when you have 0 lives left, you are still in the game (German "am schwimmen" which means swimming).

Then the game continues in the next round, if there are at least two players left.

Other gameoptions:

The number of cards can be set between 32, 36 and 52.

The number of lives per player can be set from 0 to 5.

If one playes with fire, a hand with AAA is valued 33 and causes an emmediate end of the round. Every other player loses a life.

GAME SETUP

For the game you need a classic 52 card deck and then remove the JQK to remain 40 cards (2 to 9 and A per suit). The A is played as 1.
The game is for two players only.

After the deck is shuffeled, every player received six cards and four cards are revealed to the table.

GAME PLAY

One player starts.
In your turn you have two options.
1. Either play one of your cards to the table.
2. Pick a card from your hand and arbitrarily many cards from the table which ranks are in sum the rank of your card.

When both players don't have cards on their hands, every player draws six new cards. The player who played last gets to start and therefore plays twice.

If the deck is empty and both players have played their last card, points are given and the game starts with a new round.
The player that played the last card gets to start the new round.
If a player has more than 15 points, the game ends.

POINTS

If you get to remove all cards from the table, you score a hurricane. The next player can only play a card and can not pick cards.
For every hurricane you receive a point at the end of the round.

Additionally, at the end you receive one point for:
- Taking more cards than your opponent
- Taking more hearts than your opponent
- Taking the 7 of hearts
