We've recommended some seriously hefty boys and girls on the Board Game Masterpieces series so far, but here's something to give your wallet a rest. With just a deck of cards and some incongruous bullish branding, 6 Nimmt manages to be one of the most addictive games of all time. And Adam's most played game EVER!

CORRECTION: At 6:08, the demonic 55 card is worth 7 points, not 8. Apparently Adam has been reading it wrong for LITERAL YEARS.

My in-laws (specifically my sister in-law and her husband) broke this gem out on a camping trip. We played 5 rounds in one sitting, and not one person even so much as considered getting up from the table. I felt like I had found a drug that I had been craving and never known it. The only problem is that I completely forgot the name. Now it's in a shopping cart on Amazon. Thank you so much, Adam and crew. You have brought me so much genuine jubilation because of this video.

[@Brodysseus]

Adam: "That counts as one of my Board Game Club wins for the year!" Narrator: "It was also his only win of the year."

[@cobras35]

I know there is an editor named Teri, but every time Adam says "Teri" off screen, I genuinely want him to be talking to Laurie's cat Terry

[@dafttassia1960]

For me it's torrie from dx whose name is terry to me for some reason

[@WARDEATHFUN]

I sometimes pretend Adam is secretly alone but doesn't want anyone to know. He's just slowly going mad playing board games by himself because his friends don't play nearly as often as he likes.

[@eliasmg9144]

Well, not anymore as she has become the very important house rules villain

[@romeocasido5723]

This is such a great board game channel. I think most of the board game channels out there cater to the people already into the hobby. But this channel, and how it presents and introduces us to the games (with energy, passion, and positivity) really help build up the community and create new players. I really hope it blows up in popularity

[@Taluien]

So, "Hornochse" (which is the theme for the game) is mostly used as an insult in the neighbourhood of "idiot" or "moron" but with a hefty dash of stubbornness mixed in in German. The game itself is quite brilliant with a lot of mental footwork involved.

[@gnosjo]

Yeah. In Sweden we call it "Tjurskalle" which literally translates "Bull's Skull" and is used about a really stubborn person. Great game! :)

[@sethlattner6679]

I really enjoy the essay type videos you guys upload. Don’t get me wrong, I like a Top 10 just as much as the next guy, but I especially like and really appreciate these more focused videos. Adam’s passion for this hobby shines so clearly

[@chrisstokholm]

PLEASE more Board Game Masterpiece videos! They're amazing.

[@MrMobiusKage]

Most addictive game in my collection is Spirit Island. It has been by far the most requested game, and if I bring it to the table early, forget about playing anything else. Everyone wants one more go with a new spirit. I have had to leave it behind on occasion in order to get my friends to try all the other games I compulsively buy thanks to this channel (among others). I will definitely be picking this game up as an add on on my next board game order.

[@brandonvangieson8087]

We're all keeping track of your resolution Adam, and you should know that declaring a win for yourself isn't gonna fly with the people.

[@ThrawnIsAlive]

Eh, let's be honest, it won't matter. :)

[@juhis-dev]

I absolutely love 6 Nimmt!, it's one of my go-to games that I always carry with me when I leave the house. It's so easy to teach and learn, doesn't take a lot of space so it can be played anywhere at any time and can be played by first-time board gamers and seasoned veterans alike in the same game.

[@SpaceCase404]

Sully deserves his own board game masterpieces video

[@TheTomAbz]

its a 104 cards so that when you play with 10 people everyone gets 10 cards and there are still 4 cards left to place on the middle of the table.

[@foreverjetspacefella9980]

That’s how I remember that it’s 104 cards

[@Seier5000]

also: 104 = 2 x 52 this would make the card production quite simple from 3rd-party printshops

[@PixelPumpkin]

@@Seier5000 Yeah, many card game prototypes start out as a regular 52 deck of cards (or maybe two), manually reskinned with sharpies and glue sticks. :)

[@tinysalmon4]

Last summer we had a cabin getaway for a long weekend with some friends and one of them brought this. That was basically all we did all weekend. It's really incredibly addictive.

[@modern_agony]

As a german to hear Adam say: Six nimmt! all the time makes me wanna cry each time a bit more.

[@nightclyve2857]

Die Bürde der Spitze. Solage wir die besten Spiele machen werden wir Englisch-Schprecher, die verzweifeln am Versuch sie auszusprechen, ertragen müssen. 🤷‍♂️

[@manuelbaumann6407]

My brother in law hates board games but couldn't get enough of 6 Nimmt during our family vaction a ouple years back. And that is all the approval the game needs, really.

[@notthesonofwilliam788]

Almost my entire current boardgame collection is based on the reviews and played games of NRB and you have not steered me wrong so far. I would have never bought 6 Nimmt without this recommendation, because it looks unassuming and kind of boring. But I've recently bought it and it's very good. My favourite kind of game - easy to explain and just fun to play. It's also variable in its player count. Thank you for the review!

[@sorceressferaly4026]

6nimmt is wonderful. So easy and cheap that anyone can pick it up, just as good with 3 as with 10 players, so quick that you can play a round whenever you have spare time, but still so engaging that you easily can play it for several hours! Side note - While this victory certainly didn't count, I am rooting for you to win at least 22 BGC games this year, Adam. I don't think you, or whatever poor souls you will have to drag down into that hellscape with you, deserves the arduous experience of 15 hours of Monopoly.

[@rakuko]

sounds quite fun, definitely will try it out on BGA with friends! and naughty Adam, change that win counter back to 0!

[@kn5w]

Adam... Adam... Game footage of that win or it doesn't count. ;)

this is one of the best reviews for a game I've ever seen. Man, you've really sold this game ;)

[@Not_Astrocat]

I bough this game and me and my family have enjoyed it so much. It is so simple, there is strategy involved, luck and so many laughs when something doesn't go the other's way Sl much fun to have.

[@jeremiahcurtis3067]

Not sure if it's the most addictive game in my collection, but Cribbage holds a special place in my heart. My dad taught my brother and I the game when we were three and we've been playing it ever since. I've been trying to find more people to play it with ever since dad died last May. So far, not much luck because everyone wants to play games over their phones and that game, and let's be honest ALL games, are better in person. There's so much more to a gaming experience when you're sitting across from someone, not staring at a screen. I'll be buying this game for sure to try out, thanks for the recommendation!

[@jakobsievers]

Race for the galaxy. Getting that perfect engine up and running really makes me feel clever in the same way as you describe with 6 nimmt. Also it's a quick play (at least when playing solo against a few AIs on my phone, so I often juuuust take a quick one😊

[@JoshuaRastia]

Went out and found us a copy of of this right after watching! Looks like so much fun! Quick note for American nerds though; for some reason we felt like renaming it to the much more boring title of “Take 5” but it’s the exact same game and even says “the classic 6 nimnt” on the box

[@MrKostyaLevin]

Tournament at Camelot is the most addictive game on my collection. It has the same "pulling the rug beneath your feet" feeling as 6 Nimmt!, so maybe there is a pattern.

[@LvlUpLucas]

You should do a video on Monopoly Deal, it’s the card game version of monopoly. It takes what’s considered one of the worst board games, at least the worst of the mainstream ones, and makes it super fun and adds a ton of excitement and strategy. One thing I’ll add about the game, much like regular monopoly where people make house rules, you can do it with this without breaking the game but rather make it more compelling. The game shines with 4-5 people but often it’s just me and my partner playing With just two people playing the standard rules the game would be over in minutes so we make a few changes. In the game you need to collect 3 full property sets to win, so when it’s just the two of us we double that to 6. Also there are “wild cards” you can use to make property sets: there’s nothing in the rules that say you can’t use multiple wild cards in one set, but we limit ourselves to one wild card per set just to add that extra challenge.

[@freo2000]

My friends and I are addicted to Disney and Marvel Villainous. There's only 4 of us, so it's a really nice game to just grab and play. There's so much tension throughout as you don't know if you should further your goal or maybe try and set someone else back. You could have a huge plan set up, but then you get fated and you are put in a position where it's impossible for you to win. It makes it super addicting.

[@normanmad]

Unstable Unicorns is the most addictive in my collection. Not my fave but its one thats always just a one more game type. Also helps my wife (who isn't into hugely complex games) absolutely loves the chaos she can sow with cute animals.

[@NewpDoggyDawg]

I introduce this game to EVERYONE I can. I'm still a little rough around the edges at teaching it, but after a hand, usually the table is getting it. What a great game. I love the chaos of higher play counts. 7 is probably the sweet spot for me. Any more and you may as well just play your cards blind, you'll do about as well....still fun though.

[@dumblonde8872]

A card game called Speed where you have to quickly set cards down in order is my most played game

[@dirk_gently]

I'd say Love Letter is my most played, for some of the same reasons. Fast, easy to teach, just enough strategy to be interesting, easily carried in a pocket (I've also lost it twice) . Perfect game

[@ariklion37]

100% agree love letter is great

[@Thoughtsmith]

That 100% does not count as a boardgame club win

[@soup37]

I just bought this game today and then this shows up in my recommended videos. Now KZbin is listening to me!

8:05. Adam... NO. If we don't see it, it didn't happen. So that doesn't count. The Monopoly counter stands 0 win - 1 loss.

For me, the most addictive game in my collection is King of Tokyo. I always just want one more game.

[@codyeveryday5432]

You see, I watch this series and I ethier A: get the game or B: dust off the game and start playing it again. So when I see a masterpiece video come out, my bank glares at you Adam. That being said, nemesis has been amazing and letters from Whitechapel was already great. Also, Chinatown is the most fun I've had coming in last place, EVERYTIME.

You're the best Adam. I would like you even more if you pronnounced the in Spiel like "sh" as in shower and not as the "s" in soap. In German or sometimes makes the "s" sound different. It's a stupid rule but hey, we Germans are just so quirky and not at all weird, aren't we?

We have a version of this game that includes two jokers that, when revealed, are played BEFORE any other number card. So, perhaps someone plays a card one number bigger than the 4th card in the road thinking he’s safe, but BOOM, joker comes in and suddenly his card is now the 6th!!

You can even play the game The Mind with the same deck which is a great a bang for your buck!

[@appleseiter15]

You can play No Thanks if you get some chips/pebbles.

[@darrenb1522]

Adam should look into "Professional mode", where cards are played on the right or the left. Since finding the mode on BGA we have played this game in this form ever since. A lower card pushes the row from the left A higher card still goes to the right You choose where you which row you want to put the card if it is equidistant between a start of row and end of row card The first time we played it was after midnight, and after a few drinks.. puzzled looks and lots of laughter followed.

[@pcjmwhyle1452]

Darn you. Lost my copy at work, moved onto Skull King (another addictive game), and now realised I miss 6 nimmit. Reordered.

@@Taluien Small world isn't it

[@kriscorbett1795]

It has got to be Sagrada for me. A beautiful game with lots, i mean LOTS of dice. It seems devilishly easy at the start of the round, but as the game progresses you realise you are infact an idiot of the highest order by completely screwing yourself over and backing yourself into the diseased ridden, rat infested corner of unintentional self-sabotage! When the torturous nightmare is over and conceding is now the only way forward, the quick polite question by others at the table of “Another round?” Is very quickly responded with a loud and sharp “DAMN RIGHT” as you try to redeem your poor little damaged ego and create a joyful memory of victory to wipe away that sordid memory of self flagellation….. always keeps me, and my weird S&M ego, coming back for more.

[@sylvansorrow]

Ha, I've lost it too, and needed to rebuy it!

[@Floranox123]

I have the game myself here in the Netherlands but here it's title is take 5. And I really can't figure out why the game has a German title for the English version. I love it and play it every few weeks for almost an entire evening.

There are 104 cards, because then there are 10 cards for 10 players plus 4 cards for the middle.

[@mhakeyhaughton]

I just play it on board games online and it is a rush of adrenaline that I haven’t feel from any board game in a while thanks Adam. Also I finished last 😂😂😂😂

[@martayharmay]

When I play this, I always seem to mutter the sentence "I hate my hand, these cards suck" Also, I hate when you have a lovely run in your hand, like 21 is the start of a row, and I have 22, 24, 26. Lovely. What a great way to empty my hand ... Then some bellend plays 36 after my 22, and essentially JUNKS MY HAND, ITS BULLSHIT. Saying that, I love this game.

Sorry Adam, it's not a win as it has not been shown. If you have the video, then we can see it and that would be a win. However, until then it should still be nil. I'm rooting for you to get your victories, no-one should play Monopoly five times in a row. But I want you to do it in the purist sense of the term "win". So, play fair as we all know that you want you would want other people to play by the rules. 🙂

[@Polskimg]

Unfortunately 6 nimmt hurts my eyes and I'm still hoping for a reskin.

[@Snuggletoof]

i don't know why there is bull iconography or why points are bad, but the reason there are 104 cards is that is how many cards you need for a 10 person game.

[@Rampshik]

Although bit more difficult on the scale, I would say that Welcome to.. is a great example of being addictive. You are just writing numbers. That's it. What could make you think more than 10 seconds? Surely there is not a situation where you are f*cked by all of the choices and you have to drop stuff in order to write 1 simple number :D It's a fun game, bit harder to teach to people new to board games, but I think it can be really addictive, because of the simplicity.

[@nick-playercharacter8583]
