About the game

6 nimmt! 25 Jahre celebrates a quarter-century of the classic card game 6 nimmt!, where players simultaneously reveal number cards that slot into four growing rows. Land the sixth card in a row and you claim the other five: hoping to avoid the highest-value bulls'-head cards. This anniversary edition adds 28 special cards for a punchy new two-round variant, letting players redirect rows, block spaces, or dodge disaster. As always, lowest score after the rounds wins.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli considers 6 nimmt! a genre staple, and this anniversary edition's new special cards add a welcome jolt of extra tactics to an already beloved, endlessly playable card game.

What we like

  • Simple rules with no reading required at the table.
  • Scales exceptionally well from 2 to 10 players.
  • Quick rounds keep energy and tension high.
  • Anniversary special cards add fresh tactical options.

Keep in mind

  • Heavy luck from simultaneous card reveals.
  • Scoring can feel punishing when you take a bad row.
  • Special cards are optional and may not appeal to series purists.

Who it's for

Great for large groups aged 8+ looking for a simple, fast card game that scales smoothly from 2 up to 10 players.
