Schwimmen

The game Schwimmen is also known as "Schnautz", "Knack", "Hosen runter" or simply "31". It is a very popular card game, especially in Germany and Austria.

The aim in Schwimmwn is to collect cards of a single color worth 31 points or as high as possible.
Each player is dealt three cards and another three cards are dealt in the middle of the table.
Card values in a player's hand can be combined only if they are of the same color.

In Schwimmen, every turn a player has four options: 

- Swap one card of your hand with one of the face up cards on the table.
- Pass, do nothing
- Knock, end the game
- Swap all your cards with all cards in the middle

After a player closed, play continues normally until it is his/her turn again.
All players then reveal the current value of their hands.

The winner is the player with the highest value of cards.

There is a special combination called "Feuer", which is worth 33 points. Feuer is a hand consisting of three aces. When you've got Feuer, every Enemy looses one life.
Another special combination in Schwimmen is "Three of a kind". If you have a hand consisting of three cards with the same face (for example 9 of Hearts, 9 of Spade and 9 of Diamonds), it is worth 30.5 points.

The value of each card is: 
7-9: face value
10, Jack, Queen, King: 10 points
Ace: 11 points
