Take 5

I own dozens of board and card games. This one get pulled out often. I was first exposed to the German version of this game called 6 Nimmt. The game is fun and quick to play and easy to learn which makes a good game for non-gamer friends and a good filler game for board gaming friends when we're waiting for someone to show up or waiting for dinner, etc. Highly recommend. The only thing I can possibly knock about the game is that it uses a large box for what is essentially a double deck of cards which seems wasteful. The German version came in a tiny form-fitting box which I still use. For this version I just throw rubber bands arounds the cards or throw them in a sandwich bag for easy transport and ditched the box long ago.

It is really confusing to me that games like No Thanks, The Mind, Point Salad, For Sale, Uno, etc. always get more love and always get recommended more than this game (I never saw this game got recommended), when this is clearly the better and more fun game! I knew those other games before and yes they are fun, then my friend casually just introduced this game to me, and all I can think about while playing is that I can already throw away my copy of No Thanks. I'm really sad for the people (like me before) who isn't aware that this game exists, and this is way better than No Thanks! Pros - Fun and exciting to play! That feeling where you know you are playing a bad card for the current round but hopes that another player plays a worse card than you. Also, those sudden changes which suddenly disrupts your expectations of what will happen really makes the game exciting at every moment. - A party game! But don't underestimate, this can be played by anyone, whether a beginner in gaming or a war gamer. Because this is a rare party game that involves both extreme luck and extreme strategy! - Very strategic. Yes this game involves a lot of luck, but also strategy. You wouldn't win here with just luck. - Easy to learn - Fast to play Cons - No miniatures. Just joking! No cons, this game is flawless!

I am saving this as a gift to myself for Christmas. I'm sure it will be fun, and there's actually 2 games included in this box. I have other games from this publisher, and they are of good quality. I expect the same from Take 5. I watched videos and read reviews before purchasing. It looks easy to learn and good for a group.

We've only played Take 5, but it is so fun and easy to learn. Its fast paced works great with big groups! Everyone plays a card at the same time, so you're not sitting around for a long time waiting for people to take their turns. Even my younger children like to play, (they don't understand how to strategize to play it well) but all they have to do is throw a card down each round and then they feel like they're included in the grown up games.

I have been playing 6 Nimmt (Take 5) for 25 years. This is my third deck, my previous two either got worn out or I lost cards. It is a great, super fun game, perfect when you are just starting (or ending) your game night and are looking for something quick, light, and fun. And, unlike many games, the MORE people you have playing the funner the game gets. Take 5 with the full 10 players is super fun (people start taking points in the first round!). It is also great because the rules take 5 minutes to teach, and everyone can play it. The ONLY frustration I have ever heard around the game is that there is no "winning" strategy. There is a lot of luck in terms of what cards you have and what numbers come out. But, otherwise, the strategy is not to do anything really stupid. E.g. don't play a card that you KNOW will take a row. You can try strategies like 'card counting', and they can help (e.g. "I know he the 62 was played, so I can play the 63 on the 61 and be safe), but it often works out that other player's actions completely mess up your strategy ("he took the row with the 61... now I have to play the 6th card on this row!"). A MUST for anyone's games collection.

This is such a fun game. It's a great game to play where you may have a few people who don't play games very often, because it is so easy to learn.. which allows you spend more time playing the game instead of learning how to play. It's great to have the cards in a box that has a lid that lifts off instead of in a box that you open like a deck of cards. The cards are well made and are pretty thick. We played this with my family and by the time we were done all my married kids had already added it to their wish-list waiting for Amazon day :) The game says 8+, but if you have a 6yr who loves math and numbers, they would enjoy this game. we played a few variations - the normal lowest points win. Highest points possible, and one that was random ciaos (don't look at your deck, just flop the top card on the table). we had a lot of laughs. Can't wait to play again.

First off there are 2 games in the set. I've only played take 5 as that is why I bought the set. So there is good value in this purchase there. However, the cards are thin and flimsy and therefore hard to shuffle and play with. I also wish there would have been a guide mat for where to place the cards. It worked out okay because I've played before but I think it would take a bit for a new player to get it. It is a long game but super fun.

Love this game! So fun, simple to learn and a great game for game night! Would highly recommend!

ルールがシンプルなので、理解しやすくとても盛り上がる

I haven't played the physical game yet (due to my group's covid concerns) but I have played 6 nimmt on boardgamearena and it's awesome, fast & easy to learn with lots of challenge & strategy. Cards received in this game are of good quality so I expect we'll have a great time once we resume gaming in person.

Sinceramente sólo he jugado el Take 5 desde que lo compré y es lo que comentaré a continuación: A cada jugador se le entregan 10 cartas, que las irá jugando de una en una al mismo tiempo con los demás jugadores. El juego puede tomar aproximadamente media hora. El juego parece no tener mucha dificultad, gana quien tenga menos puntos en contra al final y se juega colocando las cartas jugadas en orden ascendente y si en el turno se jugó una carta más chica a las que están en las filas, el jugador deberá tomar una fila y colocar su carta. El problema es que al colocar la sexta carta, tomaremos las 5 anteriores como penalización y cada carta tiene un número determinado de puntos de penalización. Nos toparemos con jugadas donde somos quien coloca la sexta carta porque otro jugador seleccionó una carta menor a la nuestra por 1 o 2 números o tomar una fila con más puntos en contra de lo esperado porque de nuevo, alguien jugó una carta menor. El juego se termina cuando un jugador obtiene 66 puntos en contra lo que puede ocurrir después de repartir las cartas 2 o 3 veces.

El juego llegó dentro del tiempo estimado en perfectas condiciones de empacado. Las cartas del juego son de cartón plastificado, fáciles de barajar y durables. El juego de Take 5/ 6 nimmt! en sí es bastante fácil de aprender y muy divertido, y aunque es posible jugarlo desde 2 personas, en lo particular pienso que se disfruta mejor en grupos de juego de 5 personas o más. La otra forma de juego de Take a Number/ X nimmt! es un poco más compleja pero no lleva mucho tiempo adaptarse a ella y le da un giro agradable al juego con partidas de grupos más pequeños. Ambas formas de juego están explicadas con elementos visuales claros en los instructivos incluidos y hay infinidad de videos en línea con tutoriales muy sencillos de seguir. Súper recomendado para cualquier grupo amante de los juegos de mesa casuales y rápidos

We are always looking to add new games to our game night.......so glad I purchased this one. Easy to learn, quick to play, enjoyed by everyone. This is one that we will use regularly. Love the sturdy box! I know packaging doesn't affect game play but it's always nice to have a box that's going to stand up to use.
