In 9 Lives, players engage in a trick-taking card game where each round involves bidding on the number of tricks they expect to win. The unique aspect of this game is that the suits of the cards are visible to all players, adding a layer of strategy to the bidding and playing phases. Players aim to fulfill their bids to score points, with penalties for failing to do so. The game continues for multiple rounds, with players accumulating points based on their performance. The player with the highest total score at the end is declared the winner.
