How to Play: You have cards from one to six and you have for of each. What you have to do is first pick a card one at a time and call out what you picked then your opponent picks a card and calls out the total from there it’s the first to 31. The Winning Strategy: To win the game of 31 you aim to land on 24 because whatever your opponents play you can get to 31. Then if you get to 17 you can get to 24 which would get you to 31. Then if you get to 10 you can get to 17 which would get you to 24 which would get you to win. Then if you get to 3 you will get to 10 then that gets you 17 which gets you to 24 which gets you to 31. Interesting facts about the game: There is a way to beat the winning strategy if you have your turn second and the other person gets to 3 well what you can do is get rid of a whole set numbers for example play all the sixes and when the other person gets to 24 play a 1 so the opponent cannot win because the card to get to 31 from there is already gone so they have to play a number below that and then you win.
