9 Lives

Do you know that feeling when you want to judge exactly how much you are going to win? In 9 Lives it is all about that prediction. Before each round you guess how many tricks you will take. And here is the twist: every trick you win gives you an extra card in your hand. Whoever predicts best scores points and races to nine lives first. What makes this game special is that you know which colours your opponents hold. That knowledge gives you an edge, but only if you use it well. Do you play it safe or go for the full win? Bad cards do not really exist here, because as long as you judge yourself well, you can pick up points. It is about your plan, not about luck. 9 Lives is compact, quick to explain and played in about half an hour. Perfect at the kitchen table with three or four players. Do you know the classic trick-taking games? Then this will feel familiar, but with a fresh twist that keeps asking for sharp choices.
