Card Game “99” Play game. Give one set of playing cards to each group of three to five students. Review the rules for “99” Deal three cards to each player and put the remaining cards in the center. At each turn, each player picks one card from the center pile, then chooses one card to discard. When a player discards a card, they declare the new total with the newly discarded card. However, if a “5” or a “10” card is discarded, the number is subtracted from the total. With “2” card, the player is reversed. The goal is to add up to exactly “99,” without going over. Otherwise, the player is eliminated. Whoever remains at the end wins. Students play the game until each group has a winner.
