## Description

6 takes! offers Wolfgang Kramer's ingeniously simple and strategic card game as a mobile app. The goal is to avoid collecting cards, each burdened with 'bullheads' which count as points against you. The fewer bullheads by game's end, the better your chances to win. Though straightforward in concept, gameplay demands both tactical skill and a pinch of luck.

This modern classic card game, recognized worldwide with awards such as the German "Games Prize" and a nomination for "Game of the Year," presents multiple gaming modes. You can challenge up to four computer opponents in single-player mode across three difficulty levels, or engage in local multiplayer for up to four friends sharing the same device. The app includes an interactive tutorial, as well as quick play options and a challenge mode where the first player to reach 66 minus points wins. Ideal for enthusiasts of strategic card games seeking both fun and challenge.
