«BURA / 31» brings to life the classic and beloved Russian/ex-USSR card game "Bura". Also called "31" ("Thirty-One"), the goal is simple: be the first to score 31 points in a round.
"Bura" isn't just about luck. It's a game of daring decisions! The main intrigue comes from cards discarded face-down. You never know the exact point value of a trick you take, adding deep layers of risk, psychology, and intense calculation in the gameplay.
Collect powerful combinations like the instant-win "Bura" (three trumps) or the formidable "Moscow" (three Aces) to seize the initiative. Each round is a short, tense battle where it's crucial not only to collect points but also to outguess your opponents' moves. Will you dare to "reveal" your points at the decisive moment?
Dive into the game and experience the perfect mix of classic gameplay, strategy, and true excitement. Can you outplay everyone and become the champion?
How to play
Goal: Win a match by being the first to win 21 rounds (a "rubber") or 11 rounds (a "small rubber").
Gameplay:
● The Deal: Each player gets 3 cards. A trump suit is revealed – it beats all other suits.
● The Trick: A player leads with one or more cards of a single suit. The next player must "beat" them with higher cards of the same suit or use trumps. If they can't, they discard their cards face-down, hiding the points!
● Result: Highest cards take the trick. All players draw back to 3 cards.
● Key Decision: The player who took the trick can either make another move or risk a "REVEAL" – to count the points in their collected tricks.

● Winning the Round: Revealing with 31+ points wins instantly! Fewer points brings a penalty. If no one reveals, a "DRAW" occurs, and the winner of the next round will receive +1 for each draw.
