## What is 9?

9 is a quick, elegant strategy game for two.

Each side starts with nine pieces in a corner of an 8x8 board. Take turns stepping one square, or hop over any neighboring piece (yours or your opponent's) and chain hops together to fly across the board. Nothing is captured: every piece you hop over stays in play, so every move builds a road for someone. First to fill the opposite corner wins.

• Play the computer on Easy, Medium or Hard. Hard looks five moves ahead.
• Or pass the phone and play a friend, with your own names.
• Four themes: Wood, Minimal, Night and Clay.
• Move hints you can turn off once you know the game.
• Works offline. No ads, no accounts, no tracking.

Easy to learn in a minute, with plenty of depth once you start planning your jump chains.
