6 Nimmt! 25th Anniversary (Scripted)

Description
The 25th Anniversary edition of 6 Nimmt!

This mod contains the extra 28 special cards for the anniversary variant, which our group likes to play. The rules are the same as base 6 Nimmt! with the following changes:

1. Each player is dealt 12 numbered cards instead of the usual 10 (so max 8 players)
2. Each player is also dealt 3 special cards
3. Just before moving your revealed number card into its place in one of the rows, you *may* play a special card

Now with scripting to set the game up, and to automate scoring!

The special cards are:
- 5th Row: Create a 5th row with your card (can't use if there's already a 5th row). When there are 5 rows, when any row is taken, that player takes all of the cards including their own, reducing back to 4 rows.
- 7 nimmt!: Place to the left of a row; this row is now picked up on the 7th card, not the 6th. The 7 nimmt! card is removed once someone takes the row
- Insert: Instead of adding your card to the end of the row, insert it in any valid place between cards. You still have to take the row if it hits its limit
- Replace: Replace your revealed number card with a different one from you hand
- Shift: Move any existing number card from one row to another before placing your card
- Stop: Place this card at the end of any row before placing your card. No more cards may be placed in that row until the Stop card is removed. Max 2 Stop cards active at once in the game. All Stop cards are removed as soon as anyone takes a row.
- Negative = Positive: Play when you're about to take a row. Pick one of the cards you pick up and subtract the bull heads on it from the ones on the other cards you pick up, only taking the net number of bullheads into your score (discard the other cards)

Thanks to LarsEbert whose images I used for the base number cards so I didn't have to scan all of mine, just the special cards & the anniversary backs :)

Thank you verry much. It's great now!
I shortly testet it and it works like expected.
I'm shure my playing partners will be excited, next time we play!
Thanks and have a nice day / weekend /month / time!

OK, I've updated the scripting so that:

1. The special deck is left on the table, so you can exchange special cards when you pick up a row
2. Added a "Second Round" button, which keeps any remaining special cards and your score bag intact, then deals you 12 number cards from a NEW deck, and 3 more specials from the EXISTING deck

Because the numbers cards are cloned before dealing, it means you can still see how your total score was derived from both rounds. It's possible to have a card in your scoring bag that is in play in the second round because they're separate instances.

Hope that helps, and thanks for pointing out the errors!

Sorry the admin button is actually called "New Manual Decks", after clicking that you can switch back to your original colour and play with those decks instead.

However I'm working on some changes to the scripting to respect the rules that I forgot about because our group doesn't play with them :)

Thank you. I didn't know that. I will try that way next time we play 6 nimmt!

Ah, I did the scripting based on how we play and didn't read the rules again! However if you want to do things manually you can, just change colour to black then click the "Show Master Decks" button, then the decks will be shown and you can use them manually like before.

Hi Sinbad3D
I liked the 6 Nimmt! 25th Anniversary you created. Unfortunately now there is a "but". The Idea to add a script, was not bad, although it does not reflect the rules correctly. There are 3 things that could be improved:
- Along the original rules of the 25th Anniversary eddition, every time you have to take a row, you might change one of your special cards. So the stack of special cards should remain on the table
- Along the original rules you play 2 rounds. After the first round, you could keep the sppecial cards you didn't use and get new 3 ones. Could you change the script, that a second round could be played and it counts the cards further? Now we have to write it down anyway at the end of each round.
- with your former 6 Nimmt! 25th Anniversary we could play along own rules. That is not possible anymore. Could you offer a second 6 Nimmt! 25th Anniversary without scripting (like it was before the update)?
Thank you and have a nice time.
