    My version:
    Zhizn', eto boi neskolko raundov
    Zhizn', eto boi v neskolko raundax
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    The phrase ‘несколько раундов’ is in accusative here.
    The word ‘несколько’ behaves like a numeral. When in nominative or accusative, it requires the dependent word to be in genitive, otherwise the dependent word should have the same case.

    nom несколько (nom) раундов (gen)
    gen нескольких (gen) раундов (gen)
    dat нескольким (dat) раундам (dat)
    acc несколько (acc) раундов (gen)
    instr несколькими (instr) раундами (instr)
    loc нескольких (loc) раундах (loc)
    Please correct my English
