Overview
[This adding game is not to be confused with the trick-taking game, Ninety-Nine.]
From David Parlett's The Penguin Book of Card Games:
Said to be a Gypsy game. Deal three cards each and stack the rest face down. Play goes to the left, but may change. Each in turn plays a face up card to the table, announces the total value of all cards played so far, and draws a replacement from stock.
Cards count as follows:
ace to nine: increase the value of the pile by the pip count of the card ten: reduce the value by ten jack, queen: the value stays the same king: the value is set to 98
The total may not exceed 98. The first player to be unable to play, loses a life. The first to lose three lives, loses the game.
