6 nimmt!: A game where you lose points equal to the number of cows

A penalty-point game using numbered cards.

First, four rows are created on the table.

Next, all players simultaneously play a card and place it in the row whose last card is closest in number to the card they played.

If a player ends up placing the sixth card in a row, they must take all the cards from that row as negative points.

The player with the most penalty points loses.

Nanjamonja: A game that tests memory and reflexes

You only use cards featuring the strange creatures known as the Nanjamonja Tribe.

Players take turns drawing one card at a time.

If the creature on the card is one you’ve never seen before, you can give it any name you like.

But if it’s a creature that has appeared previously, you must be the first to shout out its name.

Watching a real game in action will surely show you just how fun it is.
