29 King: a 29 card game from Evonix Ventures
29 King is a 29 card game listed by Evonix Ventures. What the listing tells you, what to check, and where to get it on Android.
29 is a game many families learned at the kitchen table, and it has a long history of local rules. 29 King is one of the Android apps for it, listed by Evonix Ventures. The studio's site names the app but does not describe its rules, so this guide covers the standard game and tells you what to check on the store page.
The standard game in brief
29 is played with four players in two partnerships, on a 32-card deck. Each suit ranks Jack, nine, Ace, ten, king, queen, eight, seven. The Jack and the nine are the two most valuable cards. A hand is worth 29 points in total, and the bidder has to win enough of them to reach their bid.
What the app should give you
A good 29 app should let you play a full hand, bid, choose trump, and see the points at the end. Check that the bidding and trump rules match the table you learned at. Many families differ on small points, such as who leads first, and those differences matter when you learn from a new app.
How it differs from 29 Royale
29 Royale is our own 29 game, with a guided practice match called Training Grounds. 29 King is a separate app from Evonix Ventures. Both use the standard 29 ranking, so the how to play guide applies to both.
