Counting to 9 has never been this high stakes! Take turns adding numbered cards on the pile. As the total grows closer to 9, blindside other players by throwing down special action cards that force them to bust. Then you get to steal their cards and add them to your score pile. Most points by the end of the deck wins!
What's In the Box?
Nine Lives comes with:
- Numbered playing cards
- Special action cards, Reverse, Skip, New Total, and Super steal.
Plus, one instruction manual that you will probably skim.

- RDRandom D.Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoShort, fast, fun
Whether you're learning addition or have been out of school for years, this game is loads of fun! It has just the right strategy and chance. It's also really quick to learn and small enough to keep in your purse. We love it

This game is so fun! It's like Uno, Blackjack, and War had a baby. Trying not to bust while being a brutal tactician with action cards attempting to gain as many cards as possible. I constantly had people asking if I could bring the game over so we could play. I love how shiny the cards are (I know that's not really part of gameplay but it definitely keeps my attention lol). It's super simple to learn and quick to play if you don't have a lot of time. The scoring system at the end is a bit ambiguous, but that just allows you to make some house rules to increase the fun. Enjoy!

My friends love this game when we want to play something that is fun and silly but we dont want to have to think too hard
- CWCraig W.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoA simple yet addictive card game…u no!
There are some hashes that are considered classics, Uno is one such game, but 9 Lives from the makers of Exploding Kittens could be the game to knock it off its perch!
The aim of the game is simple, have the most cards at the end of the game, and you gain cards by making your competitors go bust.
So, there is a bit of math in the game…but as long as you can add up to nine it shouldn’t be too difficult!
On your turn you’ll discard a card from your hand and add it to the current score, if you play a card that forces the count above 9, then you out and you give your cards to the player that made you bust.
Each card has a different # of points, and some have actions, so busting over 9 is not always as straightforward as you would think and that’s where the fun increases.
We played the game multiple times over the week and each time we found new tactics to win the game. The game supports 2-6 players, and while it works with two, we found it more enjoyable with more.
Of you want a game like Uno, but with a tactical twist, then 9 Lives could be the game you are looking for. We can see this becoming a staple of or game nights.
