Nines for Four Players: Nines can also be played by four players each playing independently, with a few modifications to the rules, as follows:

• No dummy hand is dealt. Instead, each player receives a full hand of cards. With no dummy hand dealt, there is also no opportunity to trade the hand.
• A players score is based on the difference in the number of tricks won and three. Thus, if a player wins three tricks he score remains unchanged. For each trick under three won, he must add one point to his current ongoing score. For each trick over three won, he is entitled to subtract one point from his current ongoing score.

In all other aspects the four player variation is played the same as the three player variant as described above.
