About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for another round of delightful despair in 6 nimmt! Baron Oxx, a fresh take on the classic card game where the goal is to be the least bad! The dynamic is familiar: you and your friends (up to 10 players!) will try your best to avoid taking cards to keep your score low. To start, five rows of cards are laid out on the table, each beginning with a single random card from the deck. Each card has a number and, most importantly, one or more colored bullheads. Each turn, everyone simultaneously chooses a card from their hand and reveals it. Whoever revealed the lowest card gets to play first, adding it to a row where the last card features a bullhead of the same color. If there are multiple matching rows, you get to choose! Things get tricky when a row reaches six cards or accumulates six bullheads of the same color: the player who added the most recent card to that row claims all other cards in it, and they become negative points! Oh, and there's Baron Oxx, a special card that shows all colors. This means you can play it on any row, a true wild card... but be careful, it can cost you a lot of points if not used wisely. The game continues with everyone playing their cards, from lowest to highest, until all hands are empty. In the end, whoever has the lowest score is the big winner (or the least loser, right?).
