In 6 nimmt!, also known as Category 5 and many other names, you want to score as few points as possible.

To play, you shuffle the 104 numbered cards, lay out four cards face up to start the four rows, then deal ten cards to each player. Each turn, players simultaneously choose and reveal a card from their hand, then add the cards to the rows, with cards placed in ascending order according to their number; specifically, each card is placed in the row that ends with the highest number below the card's number. When the sixth card is placed in a row, the owner of that card claims the other five cards, and the sixth card becomes the first card of a new row.

In addition to a number from 1 to 104, each card has a point value. After completing ten rounds, players count their score and see if the game ends. (Category 5 ends when a player has a score greater than 74, for example, while 6 nimmt! ends when someone exceeds 66). In that case, the player with the fewest points wins!

6 nimmt! works with 2 to 10 players, and the game dynamics change as the number of players increases. A variant of the game involves using 34 cards, 44 cards, 54 cards, etc. (instead of 104 cards) when you have three, four, five, etc. players. This change allows you to know which cards are in play, which enables you to track which cards have been played and (theoretically) make better choices about which card to play and when it is played.
