About

All Nine Long is a drinking card game played with a poker deck that originally came about while drinking with some friends, although it was mainly designed by Rex Chin. I then decided to develop this idea into a mobile game. All Nine Long is planned to be released on the Google Play Store and is currently still under development. I have recently gotten an artist, Adrian Hopfenspirger, on board to help create art assets for this game.

How To Play?

The game is played on a single phone. For release, players will also be able to connect to a single phone locally so that everyone has their own screen.

Players take turns to draw cards from a poker deck into a pile, which have all their values added together. Picture cards are counted as 10. When the combined value of the pile is a multiple of 9 or consists of a 9, a nine event occurs, and the next player is at risk of drinking. The amount of drinks is the value divided by 9 if it is a multiple, or the first digit if it only contains a 9. (45 = 9 drinks, 49 = 4 drinks). If the card that triggered the Nine Event was an Ace, the number of drinks is doubled. They can also choose to bet by drawing another card, but have to drink double the amount if the bet fails.

Betting entails drawing another card, and the value is added again. If the new value also results in a Nine Event, the bet is successful, and the next player is at risk of drinking now. If the card is a Picture card (Jack, Queen, King), there are unique effects. Jack allows the player to split the drinks with another player, Queen allows the player to pass all the drinks to another player, and King results in everyone else drinking the amount.

After a player drinks, the pile is discarded and the game continues. The discarded pile should then be kept aside and not reshuffled.  When another pile is discarded with the same top card as another discarded pile, a Cataclysm Event happens, where every player has to guess the number of cards inside the combined discarded piles. Every player then drinks the difference of their guess.

The game then goes on for as long as the players want it to go on.
