Kitti Live: Nine Card Game

Nine cards. Three hands. A new decision every deal. Kitti Live: Nine Card Game is a card game about arranging. Every deal gives you nine cards, and your task is to split them into three hands of three. The hands are then revealed round by round, compared at the table, and each deal ends with a clear result. It is easy to read and full of small choices before the reveal. KITTI, KITTY, 9 PATTI: ONE GAME, MANY NAMES Known in Nepal as Kitti, and also written Kitty or 9 Patti, this is the nine-card hand-arranging game that players call by many names. If you are looking for Kitti, Kitty, 9 Patti, a nine card game or a game of taas (playing cards), you are looking for the same idea: build the strongest three hands you can from the nine cards you are dealt. HOW A DEAL WORKS 1. You receive nine cards. 2. You arrange them into three hands of three cards. 3. The hands are revealed round by round. 4. Each hand is compared at the table. 5. The deal ends with a result, and a new deal follows. The interesting part happens before the reveal: which cards belong together, and which hand deserves your strongest cards? KNOW YOUR HANDS Every hand of three cards falls into one of these groups, from strongest to weakest: - Trial: three cards of the same value, such as three Aces. - Pure Run: three consecutive cards of the same suit, such as 9, 8 and 7 of hearts. - Run: three consecutive cards of mixed suits. - Colour: three cards of the same suit that are not consecutive. - Pair: two cards of the same value. - High Card: any hand that does not belong to a group above. Card values run from Ace (highest) down to 2, and an Ace can also sit low in a run, as in A-2-3. When hands are compared, card values matter, not suits, and when two hands belong to the same group the higher cards decide. A SAMPLE DEAL Say you are dealt three Aces, the 9, 8 and 7 of hearts, and a King, a Queen and a 5. One way to arrange them is a Trial of Aces, a Pure Run of hearts and a High Card hand. Another player could choose a very different plan with the same nine cards. BUILD YOUR THREE HANDS Arranging is the heart of Kitti. You can see all nine cards and your three groups together, move cards between hands and try another combination before you commit. Some deals show a clear plan, a Trial here and a Run there. Others ask you to balance one strong hand against a weaker one, so every deal feels a little different. FOLLOW THE REVEAL When you are ready, the hands come to the table round by round. Watch each group appear, see how it stands against the hands from the other seats and follow the result as the round unfolds. MOMENTS WORTH REMEMBERING A glowing Trial, a rare four of a kind, a Kitti result that begins a fresh start, or a Salami, the standout result of a deal: Kitti is full of moments that give a deal its own character. Express yourself with an emote when a moment calls for it, then check the result screen to see how the round played out. A TABLE WITH CHARACTER The setting is inspired by Nepali evenings: a lamp-lit rooftop, marigold colours, warm brass frames and a deep blue table with a carved pattern at its centre. Illustrated cards keep their values easy to read, so your attention stays where it belongs, on your nine cards. NEPALI INTERFACE The in-game text is in Nepali. The screenshots and this page use English captions to explain what you see. PLAYER WORDS - Kitti: the name of the game, and of a special deal result. - Salami: a standout result of a deal. - Taas: playing cards. - Patti: a single card, as in 9 Patti, the nine-card game. WHY KITTI Kitti values patience and a good eye. Look at nine cards, find the combinations and decide how to share your best cards between three hands. Whether you grew up with Kitti, know it as Kitty or 9 Patti, or are meeting a nine card game for the first time, the pleasure is the same: nine cards and a deal that is still undecided. Open the table, look at your nine cards and build your three hands.
