In the game of Mongo Jahbi you start off with 53 points and the goal is to get to 269 points. You play by selecting one of three randomly drawn cards. There are a total of 269 card with values between 1 and 269. You score points by selecting the card with the middle value and you lose points when you make a non-middle selection (high card or low card). Because the player is not given the values of the cards the game is extremely difficult with the player having to learn the "middle path" by trial and error along with paying close attention.
