Total 31

HOW TO PLAY

Instructions: Place 30 cards in a 5x5 grid so that the total in each row & column is 31. Score is based on the total difference of each row and column from 31. Click on the square to place the shown card. You may replace as many cards as you want, by clicking on an already placed card. In fact, you must replace at least 5 cards. Not all of the squares must be filled in, but all of the cards must be placed. 3 Rounds are played.

Strategy: Even the first cards are important. Work toward having a row and column needing the same amount points left (preferably 10), so that getting a single face card will finish off a row and a column. If a empty square is the last spot in a row and a column, then the row and column should both have the same point total. Also, you may want to start off with all face cards down the main diagonal.

Score is based on your total points left multiplied by the number of seconds left in the round.
