What we did in our time before we decided to join in was seat ourselves in the middle of games, ie, in the space reserved for the cards. You could also try telling the firsties that right outside Sukanta Da's office is the best place for 29. Or wait, just organize a 29 tournament, it'll take days to finish and everybody will hate cards by the time it's done. OR you guys could just start playing Asshole instead, then you can all play.
