Nine is a collection and majority game for 2-4 players lasting 20-30 minutes, based on the mechanics of Koryo and Choson by Gary Kim.
Play Influence and Hero cards to gain majorities and trigger their abilities to score Victory Points during endgame scoring.
A game of Nine lasts 8 rounds, themselves divided into 4 phases.
The 8 Hourglass cards indicate the progress of each of the 8 rounds.
Apart from the distribution phase, each phase takes place clockwise from the 1st player.
I. Distribution Phase:
each player draws the number of cards indicated at the top of the Hourglass card for the current round.
II. Orders phase:
each player secretly selects from his hand 2 different cards or the number of his choice of identical cards.
III. Kingdom Phase:
each player reveals their cards, resolves the abilities of their majority Influence cards and of the Heroes they have played this turn.
IV. Cleaning stage:
each player must keep the number of cards indicated at the bottom of the hourglass card of the current round.
During the kingdom phase, you will be able to accumulate Civilization tokens, Coins and Diamonds which will allow you to score VPs at the end of the game.
At the end of the 8th round, the players count their Victory Points in different categories:
Supremacy:
For each of the 3 types of Civilization token, the majority player gains a Supremacy token with a value of 4VP.
Majority of Influences:
For each of the Influences, the majority player gains as many VPs as its value, then his opponents turn face down the cards of this Influence of which they do not have the majority.
Face down cards:
1VP for each card turned face down during the game.

Shy Monsters (Mutlose Monster) is an asymmetrical bluffing game for two players in which one player builds a dungeon and his opponent tries to escape from it.
The Dungeon Master leads a band of timid monsters.
Make sure to respect their favorite places in the dungeon, otherwise they won't attack the hero.
The Hero must decipher the structure of the dungeon well and use his special actions wisely to get out of it alive.
With Quadropolis; to your constructions to create the most optimized city in 30 to 60 minutes for 2 to 4 players, then to your constructions!
Each player builds their own metropolis in Quadropolis, but they compete with each other for shops, parks, utilities, and other structures to place there.
The game lasts four rounds, and in each round players first arrange the tiles for the appropriate round randomly on a 5x5 grid.
Each player has four architects numbered from 1 to 4 and during a turn, a player places an architect next to a row or column in the grid, claims the tile that is as far as the number of the placed architect (e.g. the fourth tile in for architect #4), places that tile in the appropriately numbered row or column on the player's 4x4 city board, then claims all resources associated with the tile (inhabitants or energy).
After four rounds, the game ends. Players can move dwellers and energy between their tiles at any point in the game to see how to maximize their score.
At the end of the game, they then score for each of the six building types based on how well their city was built – as long as they have activated the buildings with dwellers or energy as needed.

Today we are going to talk about Hanafuda Koi Koi!
Develop your floral strategies in 40 minutes as a duo, based on seasonal flowers and combos.
A traditional Japanese two-player card game played with the beautiful Hanafuda (literally "flower card") deck. Setup: the cards are all shuffled, and a card is randomly revealed: the player whose birthday month is closest to the month of the revealed card is the first player and therefore the dealer.
The cards are again shuffled and dealt, two by two, to the two players, as for the greenhouse visible in the middle of the table. Turn: Next, each player proceeds as follows: first, they discard a card face up on the table from their hand. If this card corresponds to another card on the table (corresponding months), the player then wins the two cards that he places in his collection face up, in front of him. The collection is always displayed in 4 columns, as follows: Flowers, Ribbons, Animals and Specials.
If it does not match anything, the discarded card remains on the table. Second, whether it matches or not, the player then draws the top card from the deck face down and proceeds in the same way: if it does not match any card, the drawn card remains on the table, but if it matches a card , the player wins the two cards that he adds to his collection. Then the other player takes his turn.
End of turn: At the end of a player's turn, if he has Yakus, he can stop the current month (round) by indicating his Yakus, then the points are scored and the next month begins. However, if he wishes to continue in order to increase his score for that month, he says "Koi-Koi" and the other player takes his turn. If later in the game, the player who said Koi-Koi wins another Yaku OR increases his previous Yakus, then he can stop the game again or say Koi-Koi, as many times as he wants. But if a player gets a Yaku in a game where his opponent has already said Koi-Koi, then he has the right either to say Koi-Koi too or to stop the game and receive his points, thus causing his opponent to get no points at all this month.
End: Since each player has 8 cards in hand, a month (round) can at worst last 16 turns. In the case of a game where one (or both) player(s) said Koi-Koi and no other Yakus were added or increased before the end of the month, then only the last player who said Koi- Koi scores his points as usual. The winner of one month becomes the croupier of the following month, or remains the same if there was no winner.
But if a player gets a Yaku in a game where his opponent has already said Koi-Koi, then he has the right either to say Koi-Koi too or to stop the game and receive his points, thus causing his opponent to get no points. at all this month. Each Yaku can be added to the others.
Here are the Yakus:
Basic Yakus 10 Flowers / Kasu: 1 point (Each additional Flower earns 1 point) 5 Ribbons / Tanzaku: 1 point (Each additional Ribbon earns 1 point) 3 Purple (blue) Ribbons / Aotan: 5 points 3 Ribbons with Poems (red) / Akatan: 5 points 5 Animals / Tane: 1 Point (Each additional Animal earns 1 point) Deer + Boar + Butterflies / Ino Shika Chô: 5 Points 3 Specials without Rain Man / Sankô: 5 Points 4 Specials with the Rain Man / Ameshikô: 6 points 4 Special without the Rain Man / Shikô: 8 Points 5 Specials: Gokô: 10 points Special Yakus The Moon + The Sake Cup / Tsukizake: 5 points (Bonus Yaku, only in addition to at least another normal Yaku) The Cherry Curtain + The Saké / Hanamizake Cup: 5 points (Bonus Yaku, only in addition to at least one other normal Yaku) The Iris Flower is a "Joker" card: it can either be counted as an Animal or as a Flower to form a Kasu (but not both). The 4 Cards of the Current Month / TsukiFuda: 5 points No Yakus / OyaKen: 1 point The game ends when a player reaches 50 points.
In some variants, at the end of a month, the points scored by a player are subtracted from his opponent's score.
In some variants, the player with the most points at the end of the year (December) wins the game.
