## What is 6 takes!?

6 takes! - Wolfgang Kramer's ingeniously simple card game with "bullheads" - now as an app.

The aim of the game is to avoid getting cards. Each card you have to pick up costs you points for each bullhead on it. The player with the fewest bullheads at the end of the game is the winner. It sounds easier than it is, players will need some great tactics and perhaps a little luck.

6 takes! is regarded as a modern classic among card games and has been sold all over the world.
It has won the German "Games Prize" and has also been nominated "Game of the year".

### 4/5 — Need more options to play

*2026-03-17*

It will be great to be able to play over wifi or online with friends. 

What about having a 10-player mode?

### 1/5 — Mode multi joueur

*2026-03-09*

Faire payer un jeux sans mode multi joueur est vraiment dommage !!!

### 4/5 — Mode multi joueur

*2026-02-09*

A quand le mode multi joueurs ????

### 1/5 — Nicht toll

*2026-01-22*

Man hat fast immer eine niedrigere Karte als was auf dem Tisch liegt, egal wie niedrig die Karte auf dem Tisch ist. Die Computergegner legen sehr oft in einer Reihe an, als ob das Programm nachschaut was die andren Programmteile so machen.

**Developer response:** Die KI der Computergegner wendet eine simple aber sehr wirkungsvolle Strategie an. Sie ist von einem Liebhaber des Kartenspiels entwickelt und sie schummelt nicht. Feilen Sie doch bitte noch etwas an Ihrer Taktik. Vielleicht schließen Sie sich bei der Bewertung dann auch den anderen Spielern an.

### 1/5 — Réclamation

Pourquoi je ne peux pas le mettre gratuitement sur mon iPad vu que j’ai payé l’appli via mon iPhone. Malou

### 5/5 — kleiner Spannungskick!

*2025-01-14*

ein schönes kleines kniffliges Spiel für zwischendurch! zu Neujahr habe ich alle Spiele gelöscht, die meine Daten benutzen, um sie über das ganze Netz zu verteilen – es bleiben nicht viele übrig– dieses Spiel scheint mich in Ruhe zu lassen. Vielen Dank dafür!

### 4/5 — Gute Umsetzung des Kartenspiels.

*2024-12-29*

Mir gefällt das Spiel gut. Es ist kurzweilig und gegen Bots auch gut spielbar.  Einen Stern weniger weil das online Spielen nicht klappt.
