Does anyone know how to play a card game called 31?

My family use to play a card game called 31…i thas another name which I think is slap jack. You have three cards and have to pick up and discard cards trying to get 31 but if you have an ace and two face cards that beats an ace and a face card and a ten. You also play with money…or pretzles as we use to do. Playing hands and loosers have to put in a coin til only one coin is left and that is the winner. I just want to kow if anyone knows this game and where I might find instructions on how to play.

You got it, that’s how you play 31. Each person goes in succession around and around replacing one card and drawing another, kind of like 3-card gin rummy. One of the strategic points of the game is that you can knock at anytime (if you have a high-scoring hand). After the knock, everyone gets one last chance before they flip over their cards. This is good in case you are dealt 30 or something right off the bat. Chances are noone else has a hand that good and you won’t get the ace, so you can knock and win early.

Slapjack’s different. That’s the one where (as I played it) you and other people flip a card at a time. If a jack comes up, whoever slaps the pile takes it. Some people play that you can slap doubles, too. First person to get all the cards wins.
