Tomorrow is the day where traditionally most of friends and family in greece gathered and play 31. Not blackjack 21 but 31. Some play black jack too. Same principals, where 14 wins too unless beaten by 31. Although due to the economy nowadays most play with beans and stuff

Never heard of this! I think I'll do some research on the net. I'm sorry about how bad things are around the world and in Greece as far as the economy, but let's pray it get's better for our future generations and let peace recide across the world.

G'day Amigo
I hope things turn around for you in the new year. I would love to see all the regular mobster posters to the forums do well in 2013. We play a game here called 31's but it does not sound exactly like the same card game. Well good luck to you and may you and your family have a safe and happy new year.

never heard of that game Mober,how do you play it? i suppose if you're playing with family and friends if you play with money there's a chance people will fall out with each other,whereas with beans and such it's more like a friendly game so less chance of anyone getting riled with someone else. gl at the tables and have a happy new year.

Its easy and almost like 21. The main purpose is to get a 31, and you can stop the dealer of drawing whenever you want. Here a winning hand also as ive said above is the 14. Best 14 is the one with two 7's, and better than those two of course is the 31. Dealer can be anyone and usually almost everyone takes a turn or they can pass. You can stop being a dealer whenever you want The dealer gets 2 cards, 1 is visible and always plays last. That pretty much sums it up
