29 Card Game * PLUS1.0.1

29 Card Game * PLUS is a trick card game like casino games like 28, Spades,28, Twenty Eight, and others

HOW TO PLAY:

- 29 is played by four players in teams of 2, partners facing each other.
- A Short Deck of 32 cards from a standard 52-card pack are used for play.
- There are eight cards in each of the usual "French" suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades.
- The cards in every suit rank from high to low: J-9-A-10-K-Q-8-7.

The aim of the game is to win tricks containing valuable cards.

The values of the cards are:

Jacks - 3 points each
Nines - 2 points each
Aces - 1 point each
Tens - 1 point each
Other cards (K, Q, 8, 7) no points

This gives a total of 28 points for cards. In some versions of the game, the last trick is worth an extra card point, for a total of 29: this total explains the name of the game. Most players nowadays do not count the point for the last trick, but the name of the game is still 29, even when playing this version with only 28 points.

Traditionally, the Twos, Threes Fours and Fives discarded from the full 52-card pack are used as trump indicators: each player takes a set of these cards, one of each suit. The Sixes are used to keep score: each partnership uses one red and one black Six for this purpose.
