X nimmt!

storage for Bulls

Again, we place, as in 6 nimmt!, number cards into rows and try to discard all our cards without having to take rows and thus collecting bulls’ heads.

X nimmt! varies this mechanism:

There are 100 number cards from 1 to 100, generally with one bulls head per card, but there are some cards with 2, 3, 5 or 7 heads. The rows in the game do not all hold five cards, as in 6 nimmt!, but have different capacities for cards. At the start of the game, row cards 3, 4 and 5 are laid out, and beneath each row card one card from the shuffled stack of number cards. Each player receives a row card “X” and eight number cards.

As in 6 nimmt!, you select a card secretly and then add it to one of the three rows, in adjacent order and with the lowest possible difference to the previous card. When the row would be full with your card, you take all the cards already in the row, your card begins the new row. From the cards that you had to take you select one and place it into your personal X row, again in adjacent order, the remaining cards go to your hand. When none of the cards you took is suitable for placement into your X row, you must set aside the cards in the X-row as your X-stack and begin a new row.

When someone is out of cards, bulls’ heads in hand are worth -1 and bulls’ heads in your X stack are worth -2, the lowest total wins.

X nimmt! is a cute variant of the classic 6 nimmt!, but does not get easier at all, on the contrary, there is more tactic in it than in 6 nimmt! The fun to play is the same, but I prefer 6 nimmt! a tad more. But you should absolutely try out X nimmt! It is really great fun, too!
