Ride the Bus

🚌 Ride the Bus

Ride the Bus is a fast and strategic 31-style card game. Your goal is to get as close as possible to 31 points of the same suit or score 30 points with three of a kind.

You start with bus tokens—lose one each round if you finish with the lowest score. Lose them all and you’re off the bus! The game also includes a tutorial to guide you through the rules.


🎯 Objective

Win rounds by holding the highest hand—ideally 31 of one suit, or 30 with three of a kind.

📜 Rules

  • Aces are worth 11 points; Kings, Queens, and Jacks are 10 points.
  • Draw one card from the deck or waste pile, then discard one.
  • When you feel confident, you can “stop the bus” before discarding.
  • The lowest score loses a bus token; run out of tokens and the game is over.

đź’ˇ Tips

  • Focus early on one suit to aim for 31 points.
  • Keep high-value cards and discard low, off-suit cards.
  • Don’t wait too long—stopping the bus at the right time can save your tokens.
