Nine Card

Nine is the classic card game of patience and nerve for four players — Devyatka, as it is known across Eastern Europe, a cousin of Sevens and Fan Tan that builds from the nines. Easy to learn in a minute, and a fight over every card to the very last one. Thirty-six cards, nine each. Every suit is laid out on the table in its own row, and every row grows from its nine: down to the six, up to the ace. Whoever holds the nine of diamonds opens the deal. If you have a card that fits, you must play it; pass only when nothing fits — and everyone sees you pass. First to empty their hand ends the deal, and everyone else pays a point for every card still held, and for every pass.
