{"product_id":"take-5-take-a-number","title":"Take 5: Take A Number","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTwo Beloved Card Games in One Clever Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a specific kind of dread that hits when you see someone lay down a card that forces you to scoop up a row you've been carefully avoiding all game. That's the beating heart of \u003cstrong\u003eTake 5\u003c\/strong\u003e — a fast, deceptively simple card game where every single play carries consequences, and the best-laid plans can unravel in seconds. This bundle pairs the classic with \u003cstrong\u003eTake a Number\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you two sharp, quick-play games that are easy to teach and genuinely hard to master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You're Getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Amigo Games in Germany, Take 5 (known in Europe as \u003cem\u003e6 Nimmt!\u003c\/em\u003e) has been a staple of casual game nights for decades — and for good reason. Players simultaneously choose a card from their hand, then reveal all at once. Cards slot into rows on the table in numerical order, and whoever fills the sixth spot in a row has to take it — and all the penalty points that come with it. The goal is simple: don't take cards. The execution is anything but. Reading the table, anticipating what others will play, and finding the narrow window where your card lands safely takes real instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTake a Number\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a companion experience with its own twist on the same clever tension, making this bundle a fantastic two-game value for anyone who wants variety without a heavy rulebook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Be Playing This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an ideal pick for groups of two to ten players — yes, ten — which makes it genuinely rare among card games that hold up at that count. Recommended for ages 8 and up, it sits comfortably in the light-to-medium weight category: rules you can explain in five minutes, with enough tactical depth to keep experienced players on their toes. It's a natural fit for family game nights, parties, travel, or as a quick warm-up before a longer game. If you're looking to introduce someone to hobby card games without overwhelming them, this is an excellent starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWorth Knowing Before You Buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cards feature the recognizable art style from the classic \u003cem\u003e6 Nimmt!\u003c\/em\u003e and Nimmt Family line. One note from the listing: the exterior box shows some minor fading on the top — the game inside is complete and fully playable. If box cosmetics matter to you, that's worth keeping in mind; if you're here for the gameplay, it won't affect a single hand you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eAmigo Games\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePlayers\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e2–10\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Player Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e4–8\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eAge Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e8 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePlay Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e20–45 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eGame Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eLight\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Amigo Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44663316971608,"sku":"18415","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/8ae31df0fb224ca3b2160b029fbbbdff_0.webp?v=1787761362","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/take-5-take-a-number","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
