Nein Nine

Nein Nine is a vicious trick taker for three players. Consisting of a mere twenty one card deck, all of its cards are dealt out each round. The pain starts right away as players are trying to capture as many tricks as possible while avoiding the capture of 9's. Described by play testers as a knife fight in a phone booth, Nein Nine is a fast paced trick taker that can be played in about 20 to 30 minutes. It incorporates a unique way to determine the trump suit for the round, 7's can be promoted to the top of the rank, and the deck contains a wild card that allows that player to win or lose the trick. Capture clean tricks to boost your score and steer clear of the 9's. The player with the highest score at the end of the final round wins the game.
