Category 5, also called 6 Nimmt!, is a card game.
Each player is dealt a hand of cards. Each card has a number and a point value.
Four cards are dealt on to the table. These are the start of four rows.
Each player selects a card simultaneously, and reveals it. In numerical order, the cards are placed next to the row in which it's higher than the highest value but lower than all the other rows. If the card is too low to be added to any row, the player takes a row of his choice and places his card in its place. If the card is the sixth card of the row, he takes the row and puts his card in its place.
When all the cards are played, the acquired cards are scored by adding the point values.
The game ends when a player reaches 66 points. A new hand is shuffled until the game ends.
The lowest score wins.
