## What is 9?

Clear a deck of cards; just like in Solitaire.
Strategize and decide which is the best possible hand to make; just like in Poker.
Seek the thrill and challenge of High Score chasing.

That's the basics of 9-Draw!


So, how do we make the game special and unique?

* For starters, the cards used in the game are our special version of Standard Playing Cards. The cards are superimposed with certain actions. When you use these cards for making hands, they can either increase the score, decrease the score, or even make you draw more cards!

* Start the game with just 3 cards and use the 'Community Cards' specially dealt out for you in Two Sections to make the hands.

* Every hand that you make also delivers you a score. But some hands can bring your overall score down. So choose carefully which hand to make!

* Oh! And did we mention that the Card & Hand scores change after every hand that you make?



Keep building your score by making more and more hands. Keep going till you clear the entire deck or you can't make any more hands.

Well, it all sounds simple, but here's the catch: Most cards & hands are designed to bring your score down. The avenues for getting a Positive Score are limited and must be used judiciously.
Otherwise, you can easily end up with a Negative Final Score! (Consider it a fair warning)


As you dive deeper into the game, you will find a rich strategy game with a need to put in a great amount of thought to decide which hand to make and when to make it, to get the best score possible. 
Be willing to sacrifice a good hand in order to get a better deal in the future.

Don't worry if you see your score going into the negative in the starting stages. Play your cards smartly and at the right time and your score could really swell during the later stages. 


There are 4 different challenging modes, each with its leaderboard. Go ahead and top them all.


Take up the challenge and see if you can end with a positive score on the first try!


Like all card games, luck will play its part!
Good luck! May the best hand win.


(This game only requires the knowledge of Poker Hands but otherwise has absolutely no gambling elements in it. This is a pure strategy game and is suitable for all.)


In short :
- Single Player and works offline.
- A deep and rich strategy card game involving making hands to get the best score possible. 
- 4 Different Challenging Modes
- Complete Game Center Integration. Leaderboards for all Modes.
- No gambling elements. A pure strategy game that is suitable for all.
