How to play

Three cards each. A hand is worth its best single-suit total: ace 11, face cards 10, others face value. Three of a kind is 30.
On your turn draw from the stock or take the top discard, then discard one card.
Three of a suit worth 31 is shown at once: everyone else loses a life.
Instead of drawing, knock: everyone else gets one more turn, then hands are compared. The lowest loses a life; a knocker who is lowest loses two.
Three lives each. The last player left wins.
