Scat: The 31 Card Game

The classic card game played against a table of cats. Everybody gets three cards. Count the points in your best suit — aces are 11, faces and tens are 10 — and try to get as close to 31 as you can. On your turn, draw from the deck or take the top discard, then let one card go. CALL SCAT When you think your hand isn't the lowest at the table, call Scat instead of drawing. Everybody else gets one more turn, then all the cards turn face up. The lowest hand takes a strike. Make 31 and the hand ends on the spot — everyone else takes a strike. Three strikes and you're out. The last one in wins. A TABLE OF CATS Play against one to five cats, each with its own painted portrait, its own story, and its own way of playing: bold, patient, watchful, a collector, or careful. Tap a cat at the table to meet it, or open Meet the cats to see all forty, and switch off any you'd rather not play. Every hand ends with everyone's cards laid out on the table, so you can see exactly who was lowest and why. CATS OF YOUR OWN Make cats to play against, each with a name, a look, and a play style, and they're dealt in like the rest. Trade them with friends as a file: you choose which cats go out and which come in. MAKE YOUR CAT Add your name and build a cat of your own: the ears, coat, markings, eyes, nose, and whiskers, plus a crown, a bow, glasses, or a party hat.
