About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever had that moment where you're certain you played the perfect card, only for fate (and your friends) to prove you wrong? Welcome to 6 nimmt! Brettspiel! This board game version brings all the classic tension of the original card game into a dynamic physical format. The goal is simple, but the execution is pure controlled chaos: you have tiles numbered 1 to 100, and you must place them in rows on the board without being the unlucky one who 'takes the sixth card.'
Here is how it works: everyone chooses a tile and reveals it simultaneously. Tiles are organized in ascending order and placed in rows based on numerical proximity. If you play a tile that completes the sixth position in a row, get ready for a heartbreak (and a point penalty), because you'll take all the tiles in that row and accumulate the negative points marked on them. It is a game of calculated risk, where you try to predict what others will play to avoid being the 'loser' of the round.
The standout feature of this edition is its versatility. Beyond the standard rules, you can include 'good luck cards' to try and mitigate your losses, or even use the reverse side of the board for a 'professional version.' In this more intense mode, there are special spaces that can grant bonuses, allow you to claim an entire row instead of losing points, or even provide powerful action cards to change the game's course. It is the perfect game for those who love high interaction, laughter, and that 'almost had it' feeling that only luck and deduction games provide. Fast, light, and extremely addictive, it is ideal for gathering friends and ensuring no one gets bored!
