The 20-second table talk
Same cards.
Different goals.
The game starts with three seats and three quotas. The number you’re playing changes what a good trick looks like.
A quick, illustrative guide. The final in-game screens may change during development.
THE TABLE, IN FOUR BEATS01 / 04
01
Three seats share one table.
Each round brings three players into the same contest.
Ready when you are
Know your number
Three roles.
Three ways to play.
Each seat has its own book target. It’s not just about the cards you hold—it’s about what your number asks you to do with them.
5
The 5-Man
Five books to claim. Balance what you can take with what you must avoid.
3
The 3-Man
Three books is the goal. A different number makes a different hand.
Target descriptions are a quick introduction. Full rules will be shared with beta players.
A fresh read on a familiar table
Every hand asks
a new question.
One player wants nine books. Another wants five. The third is working toward three. The tension comes from sharing the same tricks while chasing different numbers.
The Nine Man is being built as a mobile game for people who like to watch the table, think a move ahead, and learn a new rhythm with every hand.
