6 Takes! (also known as '6 nimmt!') is a brilliant digital adaptation of the classic German card game. It’s essentially a game of 'reverse luck'—you want to avoid picking up cards at all costs. The rules are simple enough to learn in five minutes, but the strategy is deep. Trying to predict what cards your opponents will play so you don't end up being the one to place the 6th card in a row is wonderfully stressful.

The app handles the 'simultaneous play' perfectly, making games feel quick and snappy. The AI is surprisingly competent, but playing against real people online is where the real mind games happen. It’s a perfect 'coffee break' game—short, strategic, and high-stakes. If you’re a fan of board games or card games that reward clever planning and a bit of risk-taking, this is a must-have for your collection. It’s simple, clean, and endlessly replayable.

6 Takes! is the official app for the world-famous card game by Wolfgang Kramer. The goal is simple: avoid taking cards. Each card you pick up costs you points for every bullhead on it. Players simultaneously choose a card to add to one of four rows. If you play the sixth card in a row, you must take the first five. It’s a game of tactical brilliance, luck, and predicting your opponents' moves. Play against sophisticated AI, or challenge friends and family in this perfectly ported digital classic.
