Just wanted to plug 99 (addition card game), a super-simple and fun card game.

Post by Starwarrior1128 »

It's a fun little game that I'm surprised isn't more popular, I feel it should be on the level of 6 Nimmt or Llama on BGA, where it's popular enough to always have players willing to play it in real time.

Basically the game starts out at Zero points and you play cards to increase the count and whoever goes over 99 loses a life point (every player starts with 3), there are also other cards to reverse direction or subtract from the point total.

If there isn’t a topic for under appreciated games in generally for this site one should be created. There are tons of games worth playing that no one ever does. But there are always a million games of azul, ttr, wingspan, and a few others.

I’ll take this time to plug sobek 2 players :D

As you can find out when you look for the group "99 -addition game- players", there are actually 73 688 people who have played this game. If they decide not to play it again it's probably because they like other games more. So why should they?

If you don't find others to play this game with, that's quite a different matter. You could open up a group of "99 addition game fans" :-)

Is their a group for every game? I wanted to play for the king and me and tried searching for the group of players and couldn’t find it.

I know I can post in the forums about any game. I was referring to what Cigma posted. Usually when you play a game you are added to the group of players for that game. When I searched in the community for “for the king and me players” I don’t find it. Other games have a group for each player that has played it.

Spaces are sometimes not taken into account when it comes to group names, so you should type "forthe.."
