6 Name (English)

To play the game, you shuffle the 104 cards face down, lay four cards face up to start the four rows, then deal ten cards to each player. Each turn, players simultaneously choose and reveal a card from their hand, after which they add the cards to the rows, where the cards are placed in ascending order based on their number; specifically, each card is placed in the row that ends with the highest number below the card's number. When the sixth card is placed in a row, the owner of that card claims the other five cards, and the sixth card becomes the first card in its row.

In addition to a number from 1 to 104, each card has a point value. After completing ten rounds, players tally their scores and see if the game ends. (Category 5 ends when a player has a score of over 74, for example, while Category 6 ends when someone reaches over 66.) When this happens, the player with the fewest points wins!

6 nimmt! works with 2-10 players, and the dynamics of the game change the more players you have. In one variant of the game, you use 34 cards, 44 cards, 54 cards, etc. (instead of all 104 cards) when you have three, four, five, etc. players. This change allows you to know which cards are in play, which allows you to track which cards have been played and (theoretically) make better choices about which card to play when.
