6 Nimmt (aka Take 5!) - Shut Up & Sit Down Review

[@fkirsch69]

Qunitinius, Quantum, Quingels, Quinns, Chris Bratt AND a real Jet Pilot who is willing to destroy his real jet just for the show...wow, that supporters money sure is spent well!

That was not just a technically impressive joke, it was brilliant. Putting the game aside (which looks fun), this whole video is impressive. The green screen, the test pilot section, the made up tinder match screen. Wow. It’s one thing to make a joke, but the ease and clean-looking nature of them are really impressive. You’ve really outdone yourself, Quinns. One of your best.

3:37 - "has 8 horns" *shows card with 7 horns*

[@JR-White]

I interpreted it as that one counts the face of the card as 1 horn, and the small horns are added, not to replace.

[@katherineallen6108]

Came here to say there are 7 horns.

[@Razorgirl]

I adore 6 Nimmt. It is joyful chaos. It’s like watching a train wreck coming straight for you and there’s nothing you can do about it. A friend of mine described it as, “it’s like we’re all holding hands as we walk through a field of land mines together”.

[@roaditr]

The translation of the name would actually be “six takes” and not “take six”. It is no referring to taking six cards, it is referring to the circumstance of six cards in a row that results in taking the whole row.

[@marcussousa1308]

In Brazil it's called Pega em 6, which would translate to something like Take in Six

Very technically impressive ;) Always fun to see you guys enjoying yourselves.

[@docpepperclassic]

This game led to my favorite pun moment of my entire life. Another player, in frustration, said, "Gah! I need to place something between 35 and 36!" And I responded, "That would be 35 and a calf." Top 3 moments of my life: graduating college, seeing my brother get married, and that pun.

[@AutumnReel4444]

[@sybrwookie]

I couldn't disagree more about high player counts. I've played a 10p game before and it's brilliant. Just in a different way. See, you're all still looking at the same rows and have the same thought of "Oh, that row that starts with 32 is perfect!" Only now, you're looking at your hand and you have a 38 and a 42, which means there's prooooobably too many people going for it already. So do you play the 38? No! You play the 42. Because you're hoping that whole row busts, another row starts, and you sneak in safely on that row. Or, there's the case where there's 3 rows with 5 cards and a row with nothing but the 10. And you confidently play the 23. Because you know that row is going to bust, then bust AGAIN, and then you slide in on the 3rd row of that round! And of course, that's all before people start picking on on that strat and the meta becomes either playing super close to the number or actually purposely getting further and further away to be one of the people who slide in safely. tl;dr: 10's still a great player count, you just have to ride the wave of randomness and try to control surf your way to victory.

[@menchirox]

i love that you mention other games in your reviews so i can find other one that are similar if i like the one being reviewed. That's one of best parts of your videos that i find other reviewers shy away from. i'd never heard of up and down the river, and didn't see the correlation between for sale and this one till you made that connection for me. Very cool. PS> that WAS a techincally impressive joke at 7:20, i'm glad you immediately explained it cuz i was immediately puzzled, then amazed hahaha

[@3isr3g3n]

Hey, i used to play this when i was a kid! I think it even was a promotional event as the game was launching then. We still play it sometimes, it's really fun. Also, your videos are produced and written very well, thanks for the quality content guys!

3:32 The 55 card looks like it has seven horns, rather than eight.

[@Hirsch3y]

Does the central pair of horns count?

[@00shmee]

@@Hirsch3y Yes. All cards are worth at least one, then you add the other horns.

[@andamanen3843]

Looks like 7 to me too. Divisible by 5 adds 2 horns (total of 3), divisible by 11 adds 4 (total of 5), so both adds 6 for a total of 7.

[@greggoodman789]

StagNation no, according to my set of rules only the small cow heads on top counts. The 55 card is worth 7 points.

[@rainerahlfors]

The 55 is most definitely only worth seven horns. Cards divisible by 5 have 3 horns. Cards divisible by 11 have 4 horns. 55, being divisible by both 5 (3 horns) and 11 (4 horns) therefore gets both = 7 horns.

[@snogurt]

Hahaa! Just as I was thinking- wow that was technically impressive- how’d they do that? I’d better rewind and.... oh! You already anticipated this! So great.

[@oninoyakamo]

The 6 Nimmt! deck can also be used to play The Game and The Mind

[@zga042]

The reverse is also true if you learn the scoring for 6 nimmit! You can put dots on the cards or just write it down 1 card with 7 cattle heads - number 55 8 cards with 5 cattle heads - multiples of 11 (except 55): 11, 22, 33, 44, 66, 77, 88, 99 10 cards with 3 cattle heads - multiples of ten: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 9 cards with 2 cattle heads - multiples of five that are not multiples of ten (except 55): 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 65, 75, 85, 95 76 cards with 1 cattle head - the rest of the cards from 1 through 104

[@steatopigeon]

One trick that Quinns didn't bring up- sometimes, it's worth deliberately playing a low card and taking a stack, because it could force another player to take a different, bigger stack. It's good fun when it happens :')

[@UBBADUBBADANG]

nice. Being able to see what other people played as you decide which row to take is a great aspect as well. you can steal the safe row of someone else and watch them take 6 cards in another row since their card now has to play there. Because it is a deck of numbered cards you can use ti to play "The Mind" as well if you had wanted to give it a try or wanted to mix up the game night a bit more.

[@leadenmere]

Thank you so much, that was going to drive me crazy.

[@iamgrays]

Great video (as normal) Quinns and it is a great game. We played it as a quick filler game for 15 minutes recently and ended up playing nothing else for the evening and just stayed with this.

[@Makriev]

6 Nimmt was the first game I got when I started working at a boardgame bar, 5 years ago. I explain it to people as Schrödinger's Card Game - Your card is always good or bad until you actually reveal it. Also, in a 10 player game, it changes quite drastically, since every card is in play, so you can actually count cards and change the pace; it gets slower and more technical but its great anyway. I totally adore this game and its great to see it here

[@StigSlashBro]

Ok so I was rewatching the arboretum review and with like 20 seconds to go I get a notification for this video... Quinns are you human autoplay?

[@Martok7]

Minor German lesson from a German idiot: "6 nimmt" does not mean "take 6" but rather "(number) six takes (everything)" which basically refers to the fact that you take the entire row when laying down the sixth card. Love you guys :)

[@SneakyJ1991]

Played this with my family so many times. I also highly recommended this game! Though keep in mind that when you play this game with (for example) kids: they might not find this game enjoyable due to those minus-points/points of shame. As they interpreted it as negative feedback, in my experience.

[@osten222312]

I've love to see this with the over-the-top cute cat art from Tem-purr-a. Which is a game I've only played half a game of but somehow I doubt it's making its way into Quinn's search

[@Derek_Read]

I have not played but this appears to be very similar strategy-wise to "No Thanks!" The rules seem slightly more complex but ultimately the same basic strategies come into play: 1) predict which cards other players may have 2) force other players into picking up cards 3) predict the best time to voluntarily pick up cards, giving yourself "bad points" but hopefully fewer than others

[@theCJoe]

I would translate it to ˋthe 6th takesˋ

I'm here from the past to anticipate the inevitable comments from Houkago Saikoro Club's future episode

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

There is also Hornochsen/5 Nimmt/Take 6 (no, noone knows why) where you play with cards in a circle, with positive (green) vs. negative (red) oxen and with +5 and x2 cards you can (and should, since they are minus-points at the end if you don't manage to play them).

[@dj1jesus375]

5:47 I was going to comment on Quinn's attempt to pronounce "Schadenfreude" but then I read that it's an actual English word! Fascinating! In case you're wondering: "Schaden" means harm/damage, and "Freude" means joy.

[@pfefferle74]

So is Matt having to worry about being replaced by Quintinius, Quantum and Quingles now? They look like extremely professional actors. And so smart, so funny and so extremely good looking!

[@JohnKulin]

This is a great starter game I use before my group splits to play other games or get down to a 2+ hour game. It's super easy to teach, easy to set up and put away. A huge bonus when waiting for the rest of the group to arrive you can just deal in another person once the round is over. Score be damned or just post up points and keep it going as some weird legacy game. Also I think every game needs to have a proper 80's dating profile of the designer on the box.

In some countries this game was realesed as "Take 5!". So I was confused at first. But because the 6th cards means you have to take 5 cards, both names make sense. I wonder though why some publishers choose to change that. Great review as always!

[@RaidenFreeman]

One of the easiest card games possible, yet insanely fun. I've found it to be the most strategic at 3 people, but it's good up to larger group sizes (more random though)

I was on short visit in Germany recently. Wanted to buy some souvenir for kids. I have noticed that game on a shelf and reminded this review and have brought it. That was the best possible purchase. Game is just great. The only minus is that there was this silly Poker Locker Mocker or something that you have recommended on store shelf and I have decided to buy just 6 nimmt. Great review and highly recommended game for family.

[@michaelcorso4175]

I don't often comment, but this video made me laugh historically. Well done!

[@rabardy2992]

Great vid on a classic game - we invariably love this, and it's a truly brutal but painfully joyful game. "Silliness" is certainly a word I'd associate with 6 Nimmt! but not in a bad way - we really like it, and it's excellent at higher player counts...

[@salty-horse]

Old versions of the game listed 8 different variants in the rulebook, so you get a lot of variety out of a single deck: www.world-of-board-games.com.sg/docs/6-Nimmt.pdf

[@holtsoft]

It's not the despair, it's the hope. 6 Nimmt's genius is that it that every turn, it lures you into believing you have some hope of control over your fate. And then seconds later dashes that hope on the sharp rocks of so-called-friends moves. I think of the the design as the perfect distillation of pain into card-game form.

[@noahsullivan1677]

[@DrNic]

This is a fun game. It has the illusion of control and choice, but playing randomly is often a winning strategy. So great for playing with children.

[@MisterHumanKirby]

Fun fact in regards to pronunciation, the "Nimmt" part was right, six in German is written as Sechs and pronounced like sex. Sex is also pronounced as sex in English, which obviously leads to a lot of bad jokes.

[@suna173.6jm]

this is so convincing and funny thank u

[@snogurt]

Also- really appreciated the spatula rising out of the Inis box just as I was asking myself- how did they??...

[@jeremyoverton7047]

6 Nimmt is a brilliant game with high player counts as long as you increase the number of rows. 8-10 players = 5 rows. 11-13 players = 6 rows. At 10 - 13 players each player has fewer cards. Perfect.

[@jimpikles]

I've found if you're playing with 2 or 3 players you can have everyone choose two cards each round. Then resolve as normal. It sort of makes it seem like you're playing with 4-6 players, but there's also some interesting strategy that comes in when you've got two cards to choose. Do I play two in the same row? I'm more likely to take the row, but only one of my cards will earn me cards at most. Maybe one high and one low? But I might end up taking TWO rows of cards!
