## What is Brandon's 31?

ABOUT BRANDON’S 31
Brandon’s 31 brings the classic card game Thirty-One to life with quirky bots, competitive modes, and plenty of ways to prove you’ve got the best hand at the table.
Race to get as close to 31 points as possible in a single suit. Draw, discard, knock when you’re ready, or chase the perfect hand. Just don’t get caught with the lowest score.

GAME MODES

Jump into a quick game against AI opponents with difficulty levels from Easy to Extreme.

Knock when you think your hand can survive the table. The lowest hand loses a life, and the last player standing wins. Whether you’re here for a quick round, a full League season, a Story Mode climb, or a run through The Gauntlet, Brandon’s 31 always has another table waiting.
