## Description
Ever felt that sense of nostalgia? The 'Luggage' card is exactly that! Originally released in Spielbox magazine to celebrate the 20th anniversary of 6 nimmt!, this card is a tribute to Wolfgang Kramer's very first prototype. In that original version, there were 'hot goods' — items that no one wanted to hold and that had to be discarded as quickly as possible to avoid trouble. Legend has it that the author himself traveled with a suitcase full of these 'hot goods' to present his game to publishers, eventually landing at AMIGO in 1993.

In the game, the Luggage acts like a psychological 'hot potato'. To start, shuffle the card into the top 20 cards of the deck. If you draw it, place it face up in front of you. From then on, the tension builds: every time you are forced to take a row of cards, you must 'pass the luggage' to the player on your left. That player now takes the risk, and the luggage stays with them until they are also forced to take a row, passing it along.

The finale determines the smuggler's fate. Whoever ends the game holding the luggage suffers a heavy penalty of 10 negative points. However, there is a twist: if the player holding the luggage managed to navigate the entire game without ever being forced to take a single card or row, they are crowned a master smuggler and are rewarded with 10 positive points instead. It's a small addition that brings an extra layer of interaction and 'trolling' among players, turning luck into a game of passing the buck.

## How to Play
Game Objective
The promotional card Briefcase adds a new element to the base game 6 nimmt!, introducing the concept of "hot goods." The objective is to avoid being stuck with the Briefcase card at the end of the game, as it incurs penalties. If a player manages to finish the game without taking any rows of cards while holding the Briefcase, they are rewarded as a "successful smuggler."

Preparation (Setup)

  Shuffle all cards in the game deck.
  Separate the top 20 cards and shuffle the Briefcase card among them.
  Place these 21 cards back on top of the deck.
  Deal the cards according to the rules of the base game or the variant in use.
  The player who receives the Briefcase card must place it in front of them and draw a new card.


Game Flow
The Briefcase card passes from player to player during the game. When the player holding it takes a row of cards, they must pass it to the player on their left. This action repeats until the end of the game.
