The player that comes closest to 31 with three cards in the same suit is the winner. Play continues by discarding one card at a time until a player knocks twice on the table. After the knock the players get one last discard. The hands are then shown and the hand closest to 31 wins. A player who hits 31 exactly wins automatically and does not have to wait for the knock or make a knock.
Ties are redealt.
Up to 8 players may play. The dealer deals three cards to each player. The first two cards are face down and the third face up. It must be noted that the cards are dealt three at a time and not one to each player in order to make three. The play is made in two parts.
