SCAT

Scat (Ride the Bus) is a simple draw and discard card game, suitable for players of all ages. Players have a three-card hand and the aim is to collect cards in a single suit worth 31 points or as near as possible to that total. It is played in the USA and the UK. In the USA it is usually called Scat or 31. From two to nine or more people can play and a standard 52-card deck is used. For scoring hands, the ace is worth 11 points, the kings, queens, and jacks are worth 10, and all other cards are worth their pip value. The value of a three- card hand is calculated by adding up the value of the cards held in any one suit. So if you have three cards of the same suit, you can add up all three. If only two cards are in the same suit you can add those, or use the value of the odd card if it is higher than the sum of the other two. If you have three different suits the value of your hand is the value of the highest card in it. The maximum hand value is 31, consisting of the ace and two ten-point cards in the same suit.
