12. 6 Nimmt

6 Nimmt is a design that I have no end of respect for. It is, in my opinion, the king of all cardgames. It's just so extraordinarily original and it taught me what a card game could be, instead of what I thought it had to be. For my money, 6 Nimmt is the Settlers of cardgames. It can make you laugh and groan at the same time, which is a splendid combo.

One of my biggest inspirations. Thank you, Herr Kramer!
