Start for freeWhat to Expect
In 11 nimmt!, players play numbered cards onto one or more discard piles, where each card must be no more than ten points higher than the top card. If a player can't play a card, they must pick up a pile and receive penalty points represented by bullheads. The game blends risk and tactical hand management as players try to discard all cards quickly while minimizing penalty points.
Who Is This Game For?
11 nimmt! targets families and casual gamers aged 8 and up who want a quick, easy-to-learn card game. With about 30 minutes playtime, it suits short sessions or game nights. No prior experience with hand management games is necessary due to straightforward rules.
How It Works
Each player starts with ten cards to play onto discard piles, where cards must be within ten points higher than the pile's top card. Unable to play, a player picks up the pile, gaining penalty bullheads. Bull cards allow playing multiple cards per turn on different stacks, creating tactical hand management and decision-making.
