Read the full game description

NINE is a game developed by Sorry We Are French, based on Kory? and Chos?n designed by Gary Kim. Byun Hyung Ja, the 9th Immortal, has revealed himself and his existence has been finally confirmed. The balance of power between the Immortals is questioned as Byun Hyung Ja plots and manipulates their influences. A new political and strategic struggle approaches. Each Immortal will have to use their influence to the best of their abilities to restore their power. In NINE, you play influence and hero cards in each round of the game, then use their abilities to gain the most victory points during the endgame scoring following the end of the eighth round. —description from the publisher
