## What is Thirty One | 31 | Scat | Blitz?

Thirty-One, also known as  Hosn Obe, Big Tonka, Nickel Nock, Blitz, Clinker, Klinker, Skat, Cad, Whammy, Skedaddle, Snip Snap Snoop, Schnautz or Schnitzel. Many names for a game with very simple rules that guarantees lots of fun for young and old. Be the first to reach 31 points!

Game rules: There are between two and four players and 32 cards. Every player always has a hand of three cards and one to three lives indicated by matchsticks. Three more cards are placed face-up in the center. Whoever first reaches 31 points wins the round. If no-one reaches 31 points, the player with the lowest point score loses a life.

You get points for cards of the same suit: Rank cards are worth the same as their number (7, 8, 9, 10). Face cards are worth 10 and aces are worth 11 points. Another special card combination comprises three cards of equal points value - those make up 31½

You can do one of four possible actions each round:
- Exchange one of your cards with one from the center
- Swap your entire hand with the three cards in the center
- Pass, if you don't want to make any card changes
- Knock, if to indicate the last round once you think that you will not be the player with the lowest hand-score.

If you are the first to draw at the start of the round, you can chose to put your hand in the middle and get another hand from the deck, or put three new cards from the deck in the middle of the table.

The player with the lowest amount of points loses a round. Once all matchsticks are gone (burnt), the player is considered to “swim” - this means they can continue to play but losing one more round finally means “drowning” and losing the game. However, you still have a chance of winning even while swimming! Whichever player is left at the end, wins.

### 2/5 — Penetrante Werbung

*2026-04-06, version 4.12*

Anfangs war die Werbung nach einem Spiel absehbar und nicht gefühlt endlos aber mittlerweile dauert die Werbung gefühlt länger als ein Spiel bzw.lässt sich nicht beenden.

### 5/5 — Mi juego favorito

*2026-03-27, version 4.12*

Está bien padre y más por q jugamos en la familia

### 5/5 — Nervige Werbungen

*2026-02-19*

Das Spiel an sich so wie ich es kenne macht mir Spaß. Aber nach jedem jedem jedem Spiel kommt ne Werbung das is so nervig . Hatte denen auch mal geschrieben . Aber so wie die antworten hatte mir auch net gefallen .
Tja wenn ich net bereit bin zu zahlen solle ich das doch denen überlassen wie sie das machen .

**Developer response:** Hallo, danke, dass du trotzdem dabei geblieben bist! Die Werbung nach jedem Spiel ist zuletzt mehr geworden – im Shop kannst du sie komplett entfernen. Und falls eine frühere Antwort von uns unfreundlich war: Das tut uns leid, das geht besser.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-02-18*

Ads suck can’t even exit out of them

**Developer response:** Hi, ads you can't close are broken ad creatives – that shouldn't happen and should be fixed now. Ads keep the game free; you can remove them in the shop for a small fee. Thanks for the heads-up!

### 4/5 — pricing

*2026-02-06*

This is the best 31 game on the App Store. Let me say that again. This is the best 31 game on the App Store. 

But the ads get in the way. You can pay to remove the ads. That’s good. The bad: the price is $18.99. And that’s only for one year.

I’m going to delete this game. Others might feel differently. But that level of pricing just doesn’t work for me.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for calling us the best 31 game twice! Fair point on pricing – besides the yearly option there are also much cheaper monthly ad-free packages in the shop. Your feedback on the price point is noted!

### 3/5 — pricing

*2026-02-03*

This is the best 31 game on the App Store. Let me say that again. This is the best 31 game on the App Store. 

But the ads get in the way. You can pay to remove the ads. The price: $18.99. And that’s only good for one year.

I’m going to delete this game. Others might feel differently. But I’d rather not support an app with that level of pricing.

### 1/5 — Guter Klassiker doch leider Fehler und Werbung ohne Ende!

*2025-11-18, version 3.75*

30.5 Mit König sind genau so viel wie 30.5 mit 7er.
Somit Leider ein Fake Game, sobald man keine Punkte mehr hat muss man entweder bezahlen oder Training spielen. Wer es in der Wirklichkeit spielt ob mit Freunden verwandten oder einfach so im Café mit fremden wird hier doch sehr enttäuscht, denn das Karten mischen ist einfach nur unrealistisch.

### 5/5 — „Zu oft verloren. Zu oft gewonnen.“ Über was beschwert ihr euch? 😅

*2025-10-12, version 3.75*

Und zum Spiel:
Macht ziemlich süchtig - lass lieber die Finger davon bei Suchtanfälligkeiten.(Ernsthaft!)

kompakt überschaubares Layout mit rustikalem Design (leicht verständlich)

Auswahlmöglichkeiten in Design-Details jedoch möglich (wie zb: versch. Kartenbilder, Musik etc.)

Usw..

Naja- seht selbst!

 „Schwimmen“ ist eines der besten Kartenspiele ever ! Wir führen eine Beziehung. Ist das krank? :)

### 5/5 — Joa

*2025-08-17, version 3.75*

Hundert Prozent getürkte Karten. Da ist nichts zufällig.

### 2/5 — An für sich unterhaltsam

*2025-06-15, version 3.74*

Das Spiel macht eigentlich viel Spaß, allerdings habe ich es nach langer Zeit wieder gelöscht. Einmal hat man gute Karten und dann 3 Tage! am Stück kein einziges Spiel gewonnen. Man bekommt nur schlechte Karten und die „anderen“ Spieler haben Feuer, 31 usw. hatte auch einmal im 20‘er gewonnen aber den Gewinn nicht bekommen. Das alles macht es sehr unattraktiv und langweilig für mich. Schade
