In NMBR 9, your numbers aren't worth anything unless you've elevated them off the table. NMBR 9 is a puzzle game that's all about tessellation and layering up your tiles. The tiles are representations of the numbers zero to nine - represented as a bunch of squares. You are building up a collection, or a tower, of tiles in front of you, where all tiles must touch. At the end of the game, tiles on the table score nothing. On your next level up, they'll score face value multiplied by one, on the next layer up it's face value multiplied by two and so on.

A really interesting puzzle game, stacking numbers to achieve the best score. Trying to get higher up the levels is quite difficult, but when you pull it off, it feels great. Worth getting if you like puzzle games.
