New "Card" game after Take 6

[Spiderman]

Since Take 6 is over, what did you guys think (anyone can answer, players and non)? Do you want to play again or try Zum Kuckok (which is also a commitment to play for a LONG while and has a max of five players)?

I think I'm playing this time.

I never heard of a card game Zum Kuckuck, how does it work?

It's a German game. I did an explanation before, but in a nutshell, you have a certain amount of "eggs". If all of your eggs crack, you're out of the round. You have a hand of 12 cards ranging from 1-60. Two numbers are "up for grabs", ranging from 1-12 twice (each number appears twice). Each player picks a card from their hand and "shows". The highest number gets the low card, the second highest gets the high card. Then, whoever has the highest card showing out of all the players (which may not be the player who just took a card that round) cracks an egg.

Once, all twelve cards are played, your score is how many eggs you have remaining uncracked. Then you pass your hand to the "player on your left" and play again. You kept passing hands until every player has had a chance to play every other player's hand.

If you need an example of play I can think one up

Sounds interesting! I would like to try that.

Obviously, I would be very disappointed if I weren't involved.

Okay, so we have Gerode and EricBess. Are you still interested, Lotus Mox? Is anyone else interested?

 

[Lotus Mox]

I'm still interested , count me in!

Okay, three is the minimum needed, so we'll start tomorrow. But up to two more people can jump in also
