Introduction
This is one of a group of South
Asian trick-taking games in which the Jack and the Nine are the highest cards
in every suit. It is almost certain that they are descended from the European
family of Jass games, which originated in the Netherlands. Possibly they were
brought to the Indian subcontinent from South Africa, by Asians who been
influenced by the Afrikaans game of Klawerjas.
29 is usually played by four players in fixed partnerships, partners facing each other. In this computer version you will
play against three robots. Give them the names of friends or even foes.
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. If you are new to the game you can make checks at any time of the high and values by clicking on "Card Values" in the menu.
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
