9 Lives is an underrated classic trick-taking game!
It’s trick-or treat time at Brains On Games, so it’s all about trick-takers this month. 9 Lives is a must-follow trick-taker with visible suits.
Filmed on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, which means a new mic cable was required. Apparently, that reset the gain settings on the mic, so the audio will improve next week!

About 9 Lives, from BoardGameGeek:
9 Lives is a trick-taking game where players compete to earn the most points. The game uses 3-4 suits which show the color of the cards on the rear.
Players make bids of if they will win 1-6 tricks, and can bid exactly or within a range. Each number may only be bid up to two times. Points are earned if a player hits their bid and lost if they miss it.
The game is "must follow" with a fixed trump suit. The winner of a trick also takes one of the cards played to the trick, other than their own, to place in their hand.
The game ends after either four rounds or when a player has earned nine points, and the player with the most points wins.
