Based on the well-known classics Thirty-One, Blitz, Knack, Schwimmen, Schnauz, 31, Schnüz, Hose abe, etc.

The goal of the game is to form winning combinations of cards. There are two ways to form winning combinations:
– Collect cards of the same suit to score as much points as possible up to a max of 31 points (called a “Stache”).
– Or gather three cards of the same rank from different suits to score 30½ points.

Aim for the highest score to win!

Interactive Gameplay:
On their turn, a player can either:
– SWAP one card or all three cards in their hand with those in the middle (but not two cards).
– SKIP their turn without exchanging.
– Close the game by KNOCKING on the table.

If all players skip their turn in a row, the three cards in the middle are replaced with new cards from the deck.

Round End
A round can end in two ways:
– If a player knocks, all other players get one last chance to swap or skip, and then the round ends.
– If a player holds 31 points (a “Stache”), the round ends immediately. If that happens, all other players lose a life.

Otherwise, the player(s) with the lowest point total at the end of the round lose a life.

Game Features:
– Each player starts with 3 LIVES.
– If a player loses all three lives, they continue playing but are now “Swimming”.
– If they lose again while swimming, they sink and are eliminated from the game. However, if they survive the round while swimming, they regain a life and stop swimming.

The game follows an elimination format, with players being knocked out one by one until only one player remains – the overall winner.
