What is 9Lives?

9Lives: Don't Kill the Cat, is a party card game for 2-6 players that takes about 5 minutes to play. In 9Lives, you and your friends are doing your best to not kill the cat. Whenever a player does, they're eliminated from the game and a new round begins.

How to play

Setup:
  -
Each player is dealt 4 cards from the deck (which they can look at).
  - The nicest person who hasn’t started a recent round goes first.

Gameplay:
  -
Players take turns playing a card from their hand with a number on it.
  - The cat the group is trying to save loses lives equal to the number on the card.
  - If a player doesn’t have a card to play, they are safe for the round and cannot be eliminated.
  - Some cards have special text in the center. When played, the text must be read aloud, and the instructions followed.

Elimination:
 
- The player whose card reduces the cat’s life below 0 is the "cat killer" and is removed from the game.
  - The remaining players shuffle their cards and start a new round.

Winning:
  -
The winner is the player who has avoided killing any cats.
