Have you ever heard the myth about cats having nine lives? In this trick-taking game you’ll put that to the test. Each round you’ll bet how many tricks you can win, but be careful, every victory will add another card back into your hand to be played again! Can you outwit the other players and earn nine lives before they do?
The betting mechanic had me overthinking every single hand, which is exactly what I want from a trick-taking game. Lost three lives in round two and still couldn't stop playing.
The bidding twist actually makes you think twice about grabbing easy tricks, which I didn't expect from a trick-taking game. Played it with four people and the "nine lives" scoring kept everyone tense right to the last hand.
I was skeptical at first, but the bidding system makes every round a nail-biter. Risking too many tricks can backfire in a hilarious way when you misjudge your hand.
