Description
6 vzame! - 6 nimmt is a classic card game by Wolfgang Kramer that won the Deutscher Spiele Preis in 1994. There are four rows of cards numbered from 1 to 104 on the table, and each player holds ten cards. Whoever has to place the sixth card in a row picks up the previous five – and the penalty points that come with them.
How to play 6 vzame!
Everyone chooses a card at the same time and places it face down in front of them. Once the cards are revealed, you add them to the rows from lowest to highest: always in ascending order and to the row where the difference to the last card is the smallest. Whoever places the sixth card in a row takes the first five. If your card is too low for every row, you have to take a row of your choice.
Every card shows bull heads, which are penalty points. When someone reaches 66 points or more, the game ends and the player with the fewest points wins.
Why you will like it
- Everyone plays at the same time, so the game moves quickly even with ten players.
- A card that seems safe can end up in sixth place because of someone else's low card.
- Sometimes it pays to take a row with few bull heads on purpose.
- For experienced players there is a variant in which you know all the cards and choose them yourselves.
