How to play 99

Requires

A standard deck of cards (no Jokers)

3 tokens for each player (can be pennies, buttons, spoons, poker chips)

3 or more players

Rules to 99

Players place their three tokens in front of them on the table, and receive three cards from the dealer. As the play goes around the table, each player puts down one card. The point total starts at zero and each card adds its face value in points (e.g., a 5 is worth five points, a face card is worth 10 points) except for certain cards that have special values or meanings: A 4 reverses play (and does not change the total number of points) A 9 is a pass (and does not change the total number of points

A 10 subtracts 10 points from the total

A King takes the point total to 99 (or keeps it 99 if the total is already 99) An Ace adds either 1 or 11 points, announced by the player who plays it After each card is played, the player announces the new total to the table and draws a replacement card. Each player must play a card without sending the total number of points higher than 99. This is very easy in the beginning but play becomes more complex as the total climbs. If a player cannot play a card that keeps the total at or less than 99, that player loses a token and the round ends. The cards are then shuffled and dealt, and the process begins again.

Objective

The last player with a token remaining is the winner. Players are eliminated when they lose the third token.

Are PS4 still being made?

Sony has informed its manufacturing partners that production of the PS4 console will continue throughout 2022.

pcmag.com - Sony Decides to Continue Making PS4 Consoles - PCMag

Sony has informed its manufacturing partners that production of the PS4 console will continue throughout 2022. As Bloomberg reports(Opens in a new window), Sony never officially stated when PS4 production would end, but "people familiar with the matter" said the end of 2021 was Sony's previous cutoff date. However, the pandemic coupled with huge demand for the PS5 has seemingly changed Sony's mind. During 2022, one million new PS4 consoles will be produced, but that figure could change depending on demand. Remember, Sony's robots can assemble a PS4 every 30 seconds, so reacting to increased demand won't be a problem. You'd think Sony would want to move as much of its production capabilities over to the PS5, but instead the company sees PS4 production as helping to offset pressure in the marketplace. After all, the PS4 offers a huge range of games to play and the console costs significantly less than the PS5. Stock of new PS4 consoles all but disappeared in the run up to the holidays, pushing prices of both new and used units higher. As to which PS4 is being produced, Sony stopped producing the PS4 Pro completely and all but one model of the PS4 in January last year in its home territory. Therefore, the Jet Black PlayStation 4 Slim is the console we'll see re-appearing at retailers around the world for the rest of the year.
