Pega em 6! is a card game in the same family as the classic 6 Nimmt! — easy to learn, but full of decisions that can really sting: each round you pick a card in secret, and the revealed cards slot into the rows on the table, until someone "takes 6" without meaning to. The TV (or computer) shows the shared board, wirelessly connected to every phone — everyone just needs to be online, no cables or pairing required.
What you need
- 2 to 10 players.
- One screen to show the board — open it here on your TV or computer, or install the Android TV app.
- One phone per player — join here, or install the Android app.
- No install required — it runs in any browser.
Setup
The deck has 104 cards. Each player gets 10 cards in hand, and 4 more cards start the 4 rows on the table.
How to play — each round
Every round, all players secretly pick 1 card from their hand. Then:
- The chosen cards are revealed and placed one at a time, in ascending order.
- Each card goes to the end of the row whose last card is the highest one still below it.
- If that card becomes the 6th card in that row — you "take 6!" — you collect the 5 cards already there, and your card stays alone, starting a new row.
- If your card is lower than all 4 rows' last cards, you must choose a whole row to collect.
The round ends once everyone has played their 10 cards.
Scoring
Every card you collect has "chili peppers" on it — the hotter it is, the more it costs you:
- Most cards: 1 point.
- Multiples of 5: 2 points.
- Multiples of 10: 3 points.
- Multiples of 11: 5 points.
- Card 55: 7 points.
Whoever has the lowest score at the end wins — you can chain several rounds with the same players.
1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 11 points
Tips and strategy
- Watch rows that already have 5 cards — playing a card that fits there is an expensive risk.
- If you're going to "take 6" anyway, try to make it a row full of cheap cards (low value, no multiples of 5, 10 or 11).
- Holding back a low card can save you later, if you need to deliberately pick a whole row.
- Card 55 is the deck's most dangerous card — worth 7 points on its own.
