29 is one of the South Asian
trick-winning games in which the J
and 9 are the highest ranking cards
in every suit and it is popular in northern
parts of India. It is almost assured that
they are descended from the European family of Jass games, which introduced in the
Netherlands. Perhaps they brought to the
Indian subcontinent from South Africa by
Asians who had been determined by Afrikaans
game of Klaverjas.

When bidder announces trump card
if any of the player has K and Q in
his hand and wins that trick then he can
show K and Q from his hand to all players.
The result of this is to reduce or
gain four points from predicted points. If the
bidder has K and Q and wins the
trick, 4 points are reduced to his predicted
number of points. If others have K and
Q four predicted points are added
to the bidder.
Example for Royals
-
If
A, B, C and D are playing game and A is the
bidder with bidding point 19, D is his
partner, B and C are partners. If B starts
suit with and C does not have suit
then he asks A to show trump card, if trump
card is and C wins the trick then if
C or B has Q and
K then they can
show to all and A and D together have to win
23 points (19+4) else they lose 1 point from
total winning.

Note - player A
is the Bid Winner
The bid winner has a
chance to choose a trump card from trump
suit (2, 3, 4 and 5). But he can not show the
trump suit to other players. Bid winner
places trump suit card face down at bottom.
After completing the selection of trump suit the dealer distributes
another four cards to each player. Hence now
every player has eight cards.
How to play
Dealing (Compulsory)
- The first dealer is selected at random. The player to the
right of the dealer cuts the
cards and distributes four cards to each player in
clockwise direction one card at a time. The next dealer
is always the winner of the previous round.
Bidding (Compulsory)
- The player left to the dealer starts bidding.
Each player begins the game
by bidding his predicted number of points (between
15 to 29). The highest
bidder can have the opportunity of choosing trump
card.
Playing Each Trick
- The player sitting left to the dealer leads the
first trick always the trick winner leads the next trick.
Always Players must follow the suit if possible. Since the trump
suit is not disclosed at the commencement of the game, if
any player is unable to follow,
should ask the bidder to tell the trump suit, then bidder shows
trump suit to every player, if bidder is unable to
follow suit, he must disclose suit to all the
players.
Every trick wins by the highest trump
in it. In each trick the highest rank card holder is
the winner.
Example 1
- Winning suit
with trump card (If
is a trump card)
AK2Q
here
2
is trick winner because always trump is the highest
compared to other suits. If there are two trump cards in one trick
the highest ranked trump wins the trick.
AK2Q
Here
Q
is trick winner.
Example 2 -
Winning suit without trump card.
58A
J
In this trick there is no trump card so A wins the trick.
