How to play

Each player has three cards. On your turn, draw from the face-down stock or take the top discard, then discard one card.

Score the best single suit: aces are 11, face cards 10, and number cards their value. Three of a kind scores 30½. A 31 ends the round immediately and every other player loses one life.

Knock instead of drawing. Every other player gets one final turn. A strictly lowest knocker loses two lives. If the knocker ties for lowest, the knocker is safe and the other tied-low players lose one. Otherwise every player tied for lowest loses one.

You start with three lives. Reaching zero means you are floating and still play. Your next lost life eliminates you.
