[Fabs] Reminder: Join us for a Fun Ninety-Nine Social on QC Games this Sunday

[Yassir Bohorquez]

Hello Students and Supporters,



Looking for something fun to do on the weekend of June 1st? Want to test
your luck and strategy skills? The Florida Association of Blind Students
(FABS) has you covered! Join us on June 1st at 8:00 PM for a night of fun
and friendly competition as we host a Ninety-Nine Social this June.



What is Ninety-Nine, you ask?

It’s a fast-paced card game we’ll be playing on the accessible QC Games
client, where each decision could be the difference between victory and
losing your last token. Think of it as a game of daring card stunts, with a
touch of mathematical mischief.



Basic Rules:

Tokens for Lives: Each player starts with 9 tokens (or however many you
agree on before the game). Lose them all, and you’re out!

Draw and Play: On your turn, play a card from your 3-card hand, then
immediately draw a replacement. The goal is to keep the pile total from
hitting the dreaded 100.

Scoring Special Numbers:

Hit 33 or 66 exactly: Everyone else loses a token.

Hit 99 exactly: Everyone else loses two tokens.

Pass 33 or 66: You, and only you, lose a token.

Go over 99: You lose two tokens and end the round.

Card Values:

3 to 8: Worth their face value.

9: Worth 0 – the ultimate stealth move.

Face Cards (like jack of hearts, king of clubs): Always worth +10.

10: Can be +10 or -10 – a wild card for the bold.

Ace: Either +1 or +11 – your call.

2: Divides the pile total by 2 if it’s even and over 49, otherwise doubles
it.

Special Effects:

Jack: Skips the next player’s turn (or gives you a double turn in a
two-player game).

4: Reverses the direction of play.

Key Reminders:

The 33 and 66 marks can hit multiple times in a single round, each time
causing your opponents to lose tokens.

Don’t forget to draw a card after you play! Forget three times, and you
lose 3 tokens instantly.

Whether you’re a card shark or just in it for the laughs, this game is
perfect for breaking the ice and sparking some friendly competition.



The social will be held on Zoom. The zoom info can be found below along
with some info on QC Games. We can’t wait to see you, and get ready for a
night full of luck, strategy, and good vibes!



See you there,

FABS
