Nines — Strategic Card Game Outthink. Outlast. Own the Table. Nines is a bold card strategy game powered by clean mechanics, smart reserve play, and high-stakes decisions. Built for iOS using Unity, it blends the thrill of random dealing with layered tactics that keep every match unpredictable and deeply strategic — solo against sharp CPU opponents, or live against your friends. NOW WITH ONLINE MULTIPLAYER Take Nines online with real-time play for up to four players. See which friends are around, tap to invite them, and their phone lights up wherever they are — no codes to type, no lobbies to hunt through. Short a player? Fill the empty seats with CPUs and deal anyway. Lose signal or take a call mid-hand and you'll drop back into the same match right where you left it. Every online match is rated. Climb from Bronze through Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond to the Nines Club — and wear your tier on your nameplate at the table, so everyone knows exactly who they're sitting across from. At the start of each game, four players are dealt nine cards in a fast, cinematic round-robin deal. But your starting hand is only part of the battle: cards are strategically sorted into three tiers — Hand, Shown, and Hidden Reserves — adding a compelling twist on traditional card play. After seeing your final six cards, you'll choose your Top Three that stay face-up on the table as your Shown power plays. The remaining cards round out your Hand, while your weakest three become Hidden Reserves, ready for perfectly timed comebacks, traps, or wild card flips. Speaking of wild cards — 2s and 10s are the most strategically powerful cards in Nines. They dominate the table, reverse momentum, and unlock game-changing turns. Aces, royals, and numbers all matter too, but nothing swings a match harder than a clutch wild pulled from reserves or played at the right moment. Designed to be smooth, smart, and satisfying, Nines features: Real-time online multiplayer for up to 4 players Invite friends by name — they're notified instantly, even with the app closed Fill any empty seat with a CPU and start whenever you're ready Rejoin in progress if your connection drops Ranked ladder with six tiers and table-side badges Solo leaderboard tracking your best winning streaks Cinematic dealing and card-flip animation Smart strategic ranking for CPU opponents Intentional reserve disadvantage that rewards long-game thinkers Tutorial mode for fast mastery Emergent strategy built on card value hierarchy Tense momentum swings and tactical reserve reveals Whether you're planning your early table presence, waiting to unleash a hidden 10, or reading the friend across the table, Nines rewards foresight, timing, and clever counter-play. No two matches ever feel the same — but the smartest players always rise.
