Sullivan’s Top 10 Favourite Board Games

8. 6 Nimmt

Ah 6 Nimmt, a game that puts the bull in ‘That’s f***ing bulls**t Brooke, why would you put that card down.

I thought I was safe, I was sure I was safe and that you loved me but now look at me, I’m ruined. Ruined!’

In 6 Nimmt you play cards in numerical order.

Simple right?

No it’s not simple, you’re simple, look at how simple you are!

You see if your card is the 6th to be placed on any one of the four rows then you pick up the previous 5 cards, and on those cards, there are these bulls (or hornochsen as our German viewers have pointed out) and hornochsen mean points, and what do points mean?

They mean you lose…what did you think points would do, this is a German game and so is dripping with schadenfreude.

Once one player reaches 66 points, the game is over, with likely one person acting extremely smug having picked up only 2 bulls.

2 bulls Brooke?! You must be a liar, a cheat, a vagabond!
