6 nimmt!

You are trying to collect as few cards as possible. Four rows of number cards sit on the table. Each round everyone secretly picks a card, then all reveal at once. Cards join the rows from lowest to highest, each one going to the row whose last card is the closest number below it. Whoever places the sixth card in a row takes the other five, and every card taken carries penalty points marked by little bull heads. When someone passes 66 points, the lowest total wins. It teaches in two minutes and handles a full table of ten, so it is one of our first picks for a big game night before anyone settles on a heavier title. At two or three the maths tightens and it feels like a different game.
