The object of each player is to gain thirty-one, or nearer thirty-one than his opponent, without going over that number.
Put the blocks or bits of pasteboard on the left side of the board; and each in turn moves any piece they like to the other side.
Each player moves alternately one piece at a time.
Add together the numbers on all the blocks moved, until one or the other gains thirty-one, without going over that number.
The player gaining this number by his individual block wins.
The final honor is given to him who wins three out of five single games.
