New in 31: WestEnd Rules 2.1.1 - Learn to Play: a new coached practice hand replaces the tour. It explains how the game works, then walks you through a hand with a spoken coach - flipping for the deal, taking and discarding, reading what other players take and drop, knocking, PAT hands, and who loses a life. Turn the spoken coach off any time with the Voice button on its card. - It starts the first time you open the app, and you can replay it from Learn to Play on the setup screen. - Haptics on iPhone: feel it when it's your turn, on the last chance, and when you win a round or the game. - Choose the strength, length and feel (soft or crisp), pick a style for each moment (single, double or triple bump, rumble, heartbeat and more), switch moments on or off, and tap Try it to feel each one. Other enhancements and fixes - Fixed the bottom row (Knock and Start Next Round) running off the screen on smaller iPads. - Players' boxes now show the card they took from the discard pile ("Took [card] Drop [card]", or "Dropped [card]" after a deck draw), as at a real table. Pat and Knocked players show the pair at the end of their hand. - The line above your cards now says when a player drew from the draw pile. - Lower battery use: the attention glows now fade 6 times and then rest, instead of pulsing forever. - Wider player boxes on iPhone: the empty side of the screen, away from the Dynamic Island, is now used, so a player's cards and labels no longer wrap. - The player lists now keep the player whose turn it is centred, so they are never half hidden at the edge. - Fixed the Joker Extra Wild banner pushing the player boxes off the screen on some iPhones. - When you choose a discard, Auto-organize now puts your best hand first and the spare card last. - When Easy finish settles your last draw, the round-complete message now says "Easy finish on" so you know why.
Play 31 - the classic card game also known as Scat or Blitz. Build the best three-card hand you can. Draw or take the discard, work toward 31 in a single suit, three cards of the same value ("Trips") or a Low Straight (2,3,4 in the same suit) and knock when you like your chances. Whoever holds the lowest hand when the round ends loses a life, and the last player with lives remaining wins.
