Read the full game description
6 nimmt! Baron Oxx is a standalone spin on the classic Take 5 system from Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling. Everyone chooses a numbered card simultaneously, then resolves the revealed cards from low to high. Instead of simply following numbers, each card must join a row whose final card shares at least one bullhead color. Add the sixth card or the sixth bullhead of one color and you collect the row as penalty points. The flamboyant Baron Oxx matches every color, making him a flexible escape route that can become expensive if captured. After all dealt cards are played, the lowest penalty total wins.
