About the game
9 Lives is a trick-taking game where players compete to earn the most points. The game uses 3-4 suits which show the color of the cards on the rear. Players make bids of if they will win 1-6 tricks, and can bid exactly or within a range. Each number may only be bid up to two times. Points are earned if a player hits their bid and lost if they miss it. The game is "must follow" with a fixed trump suit. The winner of a trick also takes one of the cards played to the trick, other than their own, to place in their hand. The game ends after either four rounds or when a player has earned nine points, and the player with the most points wins.
