Double / Redouble is described at Pagat as a popular variation of the game, and I've had several requests to add it. It works like this: the opponents of the team that declared trump have a chance to say "double" after trump is chosen. Then if the declarers do not make their bid, they will lose 2 game points instead of 1. If they do make their bid, they will win 2!
The declarers can respond with "redouble". If they do not make their bid, they will lose 4 game points. If they do make their bid, they win 4!
It only takes one player on a team to declare "double" or "redouble" - either player can do it.
The Double / Redouble Option is turned on by default. If you start a table using the default options, then Double / Redouble applies. If you do not want to play with this option, you will need to set the radio button for "Allow Double-Redouble" to "No" in your Options settings.

| Double Redouble option for Twenty-Nine card game |
Tables which use this new option are designated with "drt" (it stands for "Double Redouble Twenty-Nine") in the list of tables. Tables with the Seventh Card option are shown designated with "sct".) In the screenshot of the list of tables below, the Twenty-Nine table has both of these options applied, and a single Guest is sitting at it:

Hi Marya. I haven't stopped in to thank you lately, so thought I'd use this topic as an opportunity to do just that! I love the new double-redouble option. Actually, it caught me by surprise, but I figured it out pretty quickly. So thanks for that. Also, the redeal option is really nice when, for example, someone bids 13 in Spades and then bails. Thanks again for all you do!
Thank you!! Your kind words are much appreciated :)
i put in a comment about the audio. is it possible to change the clip you use when player joins? it is too loud and irritating
Hi! - I had replied before to ask why it doesn't work to turn down the volume on your speakers?
dear sir since u have added the option for d and re.for our fun but the leagcy of 29 card game has been broken.
i will explain: sir in real time with cards we play till all 6,5,4,3,2,A sets are won or loose.
but in your card game the chance is just till +6 or -6 ..hence in this case after the involvment of d and re many insincere guys r just coming in between ,they r taking d and re improperly and they r just ruining the game.
so its really frustrating.now before playing i pray to god that please dont give any shitt person today.
meanwhile i have found that i am loosing interest in 29..
and same thing i happening for others.earlier when someonw wanted to ruin the game then due to +1,-1 earlier we had the chance for removing him..but now that thing is not there.
so as a computer science student i will appreciate whatever coding u have done.but to continue ur success i will suggest two thing:
1- remove this d/re option
2-since every +ve has some -ve associated with it...so u can continue with this d/re option but then u should increase the margin from +12 to -12 so that still there will be scope to remove the stupids..
thanks abhishek

Hello abhishek,
First I just want to request that you use civil words when making comments on the blog.
Yours is the first complaint I've heard about Double/Redouble. It was the most requested feature for 29. So far, the feedback I've had has been positive.
You can very easily play a game without Double/Redouble. Just read the blog post above this comment, which explains how to do this. Just set Double/Redouble to "No" and go to a table - your game will not have this option. Then you can play as you like, and others can play with the option, if they like it, too.
You said this: "in real time with cards we play till all 6,5,4,3,2,A sets are won or loose". I don't understand what you meant... can you explain?
