center.
At each turn, each player picks one card from the center pile, then
chooses one card to discard.
When a player discards a card, they declare the new total with the
newly discarded card.
However, if a “5” or a “10” card is discarded, the number is subtracted
from the total.
With “2” card, the player is reversed.
The goal is to add up to exactly “99,” without going over. Otherwise,
the player is eliminated.
Whoever remains at the end wins.
Students play the game until each group has a winner.
