Why It's On The List
- Designer Wolfgang Kramer took his classic 6 Nimmt game & converted it into a delightful hoot of a board game - and one I'd rather play than the original card game.
Tips & Tricks:
- One of the key decisions in the game is "when do I buy more tiles"? Making that decision correctly gives you a better chance at victory.
- There is actually more visible information in Tanz than in a standard game of 6 Nimmt... and the ability to pull back tiles when you step in the poop can really mess with what happens next.
- The game works well with 4-8 players... and is a go-to game with the larger numbers (particularly with new gamers). The game is playable with three - but there are better choices.
Extras
- You do not need to have played 6 Nimmt/Take 6 in order to understand "The Dance of the Bulls". Everyone is pretty clear that you don't want to step in the poop.
- A new 6 Nimmt board game was released in Germany back in 2019... while I enjoyed it, I like this one better.
- There is a newer English/Korean version named Dance of Ibexes... but I haven't seen a copy yet.
- This is the first of five Wolfgang Kramer games on this countdown.
