[NEW GAME] 99 - Ready for testing

Hello everyone!

I've finished writing the card game 99 and I believe it's ready for testing.

In essence, 99 is a trick-taking game for 3 players where the goal is to guess the exact amount of tricks you will win. The catch is that in order to bid, you have to remove cards from your hand! Each suit represents a different number, and the sum represents your bid. It's played with a subset of the 52 cards: 6-A. For extra points, declare your bid or reveal your hand - but if you bid incorrectly, your opponents get your bonus points!

There are a few scoring variants I've implemented:
- Game ends after 9 hands
- Game ends after 3 rounds (a round is when a player hits 100 pts)
- Game ends once a player has won 3 rounds

And one game variant (because it's my preferred play style):
- Junk the Joker (trump is decided by how many players correctly made their bid in the previous round)

Here are the rules: https://www.parlettgames.uk/oricards/ninety9.html
