Rules
The goal is to be the player with the least amount of points. To do this, you should not collect cards, especially the ones with more cattle heads.
6 Nimmt! is played using a special card deck that in the original version has a cattle head in the center of the card and a variable number of small cattle heads on the top. The cards are numbered 1 to 104, each giving 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7 points (i.e. cattle heads) to the person who picks it up.
In the deck there are:
- 76 cards with 1 cattle head
- 9 cards with 2 cattle heads
- 10 cards with 3 cattle heads
- 8 cards with 5 cattle heads
- 1 cards with 7 cattle heads

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Critics are more committed to the rules of art than artists are.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on employers seeing that it is in their self-interest to change the workplace. Since the benefits of family-friendly policies are long-term, they may not be immediately visible or quantifiable; companies tend to look for success in the bottom line. On a deeper level, we are asking those in power to change the rules by which they themselves succeeded and with which they identify.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
“Alas! when Virtue sits high aloft on a frigate’s poop, when Virtue is crowned in the cabin of a Commodore, when Virtue rules by compulsion, and domineers over Vice as a slave, then Virtue, though her mandates be outwardly observed, bears little interior sway.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
