## What is 9up?

Nine Up is a fast trick-taking match in the Oh Hell family: each hand you bid how many tricks you’ll take, then try to nail it as the deal runs from big hands down to one card and back up—trump changes every round, and the dealer can’t “break the table” on bids. Play solo against AI at tables from 2 to 5 and chase the high score.

Bid from 0 to your hand size; screw-the-dealer rule keeps bidding sharp
Follow suit, win tricks, score 1 per trick plus a +10 bonus when you hit your bid exactly
Adjustable difficulty; built-in rules so you can learn as you play
