Guide details
Run it cleanly
How the result works
Lowest hand after a knock loses 1 life. A natural 31 can restore one life if the group uses that twist.
Example: Jordan knocks with 29. Everyone takes one more turn, then the lowest total loses a life.
Keep it clean
Mixing suits in the total. Only cards in one suit count toward the hand value.
Safety: Use short rounds, visible scoring, clear turns, and the tie rule everyone agreed on.
Who it fits
Small card tables that want a quick elimination game.
