Ninety-nine (trick-taking card game)

It is a trick-taking game that can use ordinary Anglo-American playing cards. Ninety-nine was created in 1967 by David Parlett; his goal was to have a good 3-player trick-taking game with simple rules yet great room for strategy. In ninety-nine, players bid for the number of tricks that they will take; players who gain exactly that number of tricks (no more or less) gain a significant bonus. One unusual feature of ninety-nine is that players bid by discarding three cards. A round of ninety-nine begins with the deal of a shuffled deck. Trump suit is then determined. Each player then bids on the number of tricks they expect to take. Thus, if a player discards a club and two diamonds, they have bid 3+0+0=3 tricks. Normally, these discarded "bid" cards are placed face-down on the table, so that the other players will not know how many tricks that player is trying to take. After the bidding has been completed, trick-taking begins.
