***************************************************************************** Welcome to Thirty-One The object of the game is to collect three cards of the same suit, with a point total of 31 points. This is done using rummy-style turns. Point values for the cards are as follows: 2 - 10 : card value. J Q K : 10 points. Ace : 11 points. Thus, to get 31 you must have an Ace and 2 face cards of the same suit. If your hand totals 21 points or more, you have the option of Knocking. (INSTEAD of drawing a card...) If you knock, the computer gets one final turn to beat your score. ***************************************************************************** Instructions When prompted, click on the desired deck, (only the Player's gadgets will work for this. The cards will autmagicly (and rather quickly) be shuffled and dealt. In the center of the board is a gadget (which may or may not be enabled.) which is used to Knock. if it is possible for you to knock, the gadget will be enabled, and show the current value of your hand! Otherwise, click on the card you wish to draw. You will then be prompted to select a discard. ***************************************************************************** Creation Notes...
