NOT 31

Post by HarambeForever »

This game is called, Schwimmen. This is not 31. Please change the game title. People who want to play the original 31 will be disappointed.

The "secret" is: There are several games called 31 ;-)

The best source for public domain card games I know is https://www.pagat.com, and I am pretty sure ufm, who programmes these kind of games on BGA, uses it as a source. You may read about the different games called 31 here https://www.pagat.com/draw/scat.html, of which one is also called Schwimmen https://www.pagat.com/commerce/schwimmen.html And of course, most of these public domain games come with a lot of variants, too!

I agree. This is NOT 31. Even when you knock using the “blitz” feature, and if the knocker has a lower score, the knocker would lose double lives, NOT win.

Nowhere says it is.

"BGA implementation includes two similar games called as Thirty-one. In Schwimmen (or Schnautz), players exchange a card or three cards with the central face-up cards. In Blitz (or Scat), players draw a card from the deck or the discard pile and then discard a card."
