29 on your phone: 29 Master, 29 King, Masti 29 and 29 Royale compared
Four ways to play 29 on Android: 29 Master, 29 King, Masti ADDA 29 and our own 29 Royale. What each one offers and how to choose.
29 is one of the most played local card games, and it has more than one version in use. Four apps on Android offer it: 29 Master from Live Game Labs, 29 King from Evonix Ventures, Masti ADDA from Play Boom Games, and our own 29 Royale. Here is what each one offers, so you can pick the closest match to your table.
29 Master
29 Master is Live Game Labs' bidding game. The studio describes it as a game where players choose trumps and guard their Jacks and nines. It is focused on the bidding side of the game.
29 King
29 King is listed by Evonix Ventures. The studio's site names the app but does not describe its rules, so check the store page and play a hand before you commit.
Masti ADDA 29
Masti ADDA 29, Rummy and Callbreak is a collection from Play Boom Games. It offers 29 with rummy and Callbreak in one app. Choose it if you want more than one game in the same install.
29 Royale
29 Royale is our own 29 game, with a guided Training Grounds practice match for learning the rules. Our how to play guide explains the standard game it follows.
How to choose
Pick the app whose rules match your table. If your table is strict about the bidding, pick the app that teaches it clearly. If you want a bundle, pick Masti ADDA. If you are new to 29, start with a guide and one practice hand.
