Activities Descriptions

👉 99 is an easy card game. The game is played with 2 card decks mixed together. Each player is dealt 3 cards by the dealer. The object is to get up to 99  without going over. Cards are worth the numerical value of the card. Face cards are 10 except the king. The king, 10, 4 and 9 each trigger an action. The king is an automatic 99, the 10 is a minus 10 to the number, the 4 reverses the action, and a 9 keeps the number the same. You take turns in rotation. After you play one card you draw another, so you should always have 3 cards in your hand. The person that cannot stay under 99 when it is their turn, must put a dime in the pot and that hand is over.  When your dimes are gone, you are out of the game, and the others go on until there is only one person left with any dimes and they are the winner of that round. We play 3 rounds, so the total win or lose per person is 90 cents.

👉 Bridge is a card game consisting of 4 players with 2 opposing pairs. The aim of the game is by making winning tricks. Each player is required to play a card, where the highest card, taking into account suit and rank, wins the trick. As each player has 13 cards, there are 13 tricks to be won in each deal. Players must follow the same suit in play as the ‘lead’ (person who plays first) has played. So, if the lead has placed a heart, and your hand contains hearts, you must place one down. If, however, you don’t have any hearts, you may play any other suit. 

👉 Bunco is a parlor game generally played with twelve or more players, divided into groups of four, trying to score points while taking turns rolling three dice. A “Bunco” is achieved when a person rolls three-of-a-kind and all three numbers match the round number.
