6 qui prend !

The object of this card game is to have the fewest ox heads at the end of the game. The cards have 2 values, a numerical value (from 1 to 104) and a value from 1 to 7 represented by "ox heads".

Each round starts with 4 randomly drawn cards that will form 4 rows. During each round, each player receives 10 random cards, so there will be 10 turns per round. The players then choose one card from among the ten and lay it face down. They will be placed later in one of the 4 rows from smallest to largest.

After a while some rows will contain 5 cards and when one of the players puts his card in sixth place he takes the 5 cards and puts his in first place. When a player lays down a card smaller than those already on the table, he picks up the row of his choice (normally the one that contains the fewest ox heads).

At the end of each round everyone records their total on a score pad and if no one has reached 66 heads of oxen a new round begins. The game ends when one of the players has reached 66 ox heads.
