Twenty-nine or 29 (it is also called 28 sometimes with minor variations in rules) is a very famous card game which is played by four players in fixed partnerships. The players facing each other are partners. The game is played with 32 cards comprising of 8 cards from each suit. Jack (3 points), Nine (2 points), Ace (1 point) and Ten (1 point) are the only cards which have points. Thus making a total of 28 points. The teams need to bid and set a target for themselves and then achieve it. The player who wins the bid gets to set the trump suit thus biasing the game towards them. The opponents need to achieve 29 - (bid) to stop the bid winner team from winning the game. This is where the game gets its name 29.

THE DEAL & THE BIDDING
The deal and gameplay pass to the left. The dealer shuffles the deck and the player to their right cuts it. Each player receives four cards, one at a time, face-down.
Depending on the cards in hand, players place bids for electing trumps. A bid is a number that represents the number of tricks that a person believes their partnership can make. The highest bidder wins. The bid starts with the player to the left of the dealer and moves left. Players can raise the bid or pass. The winner of the bidding selects the trump suit.The dealer passes each player another 4 cards. Each player now has 8 cards.
THE PLAY
The first track starts with the player to the left of the dealer. Each player must follow suit if they can. At this point, the trump suit is unknown to all other players. The first player who is unable to follow suit is required to ask the bidder what the trump suit is and they must show the trump suit to everyone. However, if the bidder is the first player who is unable to follow suit they must declare to everyone what the trump suit is. Once the trump is declared the highest value card from that suit played wins the trick, if no trump card is played then it is the highest value card of the suit led.
In the event, the bidder or their partner announces they have a Pair, their bid is reduced by four, as long as their bid remains above the 15 point minimum. However, if the other partner has the Pair it increases the bid by 4, as long as it doesn’t exceed 28.
THE SCORING
After all 8 tricks have been taken, the partnerships total the value of the cards they have won. The winners of the last trick add an additional point to their total. If the bidding partnership fulfilled their contract by taking the required number of tricks they won a single game point. If not, they lose a game point. The other set of partners' scores remains constant.
The red and black sixes are used for keeping score. The red six (nali or red chaka) displays the positive score and The black six displays the negative score with the number of pips it has revealed. At the start, each partnership has no pips showing. Pips are revealed as players lose or gain points. The game can end in one of two ways: one team has +6 points or one team has -6 points.
