6 nimmt! Plus

About this expansion

6 nimmt! Plus is a 2005 variant and seven-card mini-expansion for 2–7 players, with a listed play time of 45 minutes. Developed by Wolfgang Kramer, it adds a Zero card to the 6 Nimmt! – Jubiläumsedition.

This small release is specifically associated with the Jubiläumsedition rather than the regular version of the cards. It was available at Essen 2005 and could also be obtained directly through the Amigo website by sending in the coupon from the Jubiläumsedition.

The expansion also has an unusual publication history. The first version distributed at Essen used blue card backs, which did not match the purple backs of the regular version or the golden frame and blue bullhead shown on the back of the Jubiläumsedition.

Once the mismatch was discovered, distribution was quickly stopped. Some packs had already been handed out before the error was found, while Amigo returned to press to produce cards with the correct backs.

• Players: 2–7
• Play time: 45 minutes
• Release year: 2005
• Contents: a seven-card mini-expansion
• Key addition: the Zero card

Today, 6 nimmt! Plus stands out not only for extending the Jubiläumsedition with the Zero card, but also for its short-lived incorrect printing and subsequent corrected release. It is a compact piece of the series’ release history for players and collectors interested in the 2005 edition.
