6 takes! – Entertainment Game Review
6 takes! is a Entertainment/Card/Family game from Application Systems Heidelberg Software GmbH, first launched in 5th June 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 30+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes 6 takes! Stand Out
6 takes! – Wolfgang Kramer's ingeniously simple card game with "bullheads" – now as an app.
The aim of the game is to avoid getting cards. Each card you have to pick up costs you points for each bullhead on it. The player with the fewest bullheads at the end of the game is the winner. It sounds easier than it is, players will need some great tactics and perhaps a little luck.
6 takes! is regarded as a modern classic among card games and has been sold all over the world.
It has won the German "Games Prize" and has also been nominated "Game of the year".

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a great simple card game and this app is great. Makes it even faster to play.
So glad we discovered this game! Solo play against AI works very well. This game is clever: just light enough to be relaxing, just strategic enough to be a fun challenge. Its the perfect game to play when you have a few minutes, and you want to keep playing another round. We also appreciate the fair price and no ads. Its good on battery too, and Im so glad you can play in portrait mode, thats always our preference. Thank you developers for doing this right! We love it.
Super fun, but is there a way to expand the screen to better see the numbers? Really hard to see on a phone.
Great implementation of card game. But without multiple device support unplayable.
An Excellent and faithful rendition of this classic card game.
This app is a good digital version of a fun card game. It works exactly as we expected it to, no problems so far.
We are enjoying this app. We like the card game and its nice to be able to play it on our phone. There are some quirky things in the UI (always starts in landscape mode, doesnt show the current scores in portrait mode) and we wish it had online play.
Could you make the cards easier to see? Maybe give at least one other view option so you can keep the GUI that looks the same as the RL game. We have to keep switching between portrait and landscape views.. Squinting each time.. So we can't even enjoy the 3D option view bc im squinting the whole time before we change the phone orientation again. We're not even old.
We really like this game, it's simple to learn, fun to play and just chaotic enough to be challenging.
Great game, we played it many years ago under German name 6 nimmt.
Love it. We usually lose at medium and single player. One nit – it would be nice if the other players scores weren't covered up by the cards when you have to choose a row. Often we need to know the rankings to decide.
6 Takes! (or 6 Nimmt! As it is originally named) is a great card game. The app is a good implementation – easy to use, decent tutorial, the AI seems ok. But this is the kind of game that absolutely needs online multiplayer and it doesn't have it. Please please please implement this feature as soon as possible. It's not really a solitaire kind of game – it's a social quick game you play with friends. This app desperately needs online play. Another small nit – it'd be nice to be able to turn off or speed up the animations.
