Tripoli is a great game for six.

places like Toys R Us should have it in their game section.

Another good game is "Hand and Foot" basically a large Gin Rummy game.

Start with two decks for two players and add one more deck every additional two people in the game though for six players I would probably use four decks. (use all deck jokers as well.) Shuffle cards and mix in a pile in center of table . Each player pulls out a hand of 13 cards and a second hand, called a Foot, of 11 cards.

we draw high card to start. organize your hands by card value. all fours together, all fives and so forth. Jokers and twos are wild, and threes are negative count. red threes are minus 100 and black threes are minus 5. Card values 9's and below are worth 5 points each and 10's to kings are worth 10 with aces = 20 points. Wild cards, 2's=20 points and Jokers =50.

Object of the game is to be the first one out. To get to go out, you have to have a set number of books. A book = 7 cards. A red book is seven cards, same value, with no wild cards, and a black book is seven cards same value with wild cards. No more than three wild cards can be used in a single book and once black book is laid down, no more wild cards can be added. Book values are RED=500points and BLACK=300.

You have to play your Hand (1st set of 13 cards) first, until you can go out and start playing your Foot. This is a draw and discard game. There will be four rounds of play, with each round having a higher starting score required.

As play moves around the table, each player will either draw three cards from main deck, or four cards from the discard deck, then discard one card. You continue to hold the cards until you can lay down the minimum score. To lay down, you need at least three of a kind either straight or including one wild card. For the first round, you need a minimum of 60 points in order to start your book play. 2nd round is 90, 3rd is 120 and last round is 150. All players must wait until they reach the minimum count before they can start to claim books.

EXAMLE: I lay down AAA = 60 points enough for 1st round. Second round I lay down 444=15 points, 888=15 and kk Joker =70 points (kk=20 Joker=50) total = 100 points.

Usually the first cards you want to discard are the Red 3's as they can cost you dearly. Work your own stratagy, but the cards in your hands will eventually force you to lay them in columns in front of you. If your cards are laid down here, they cannot be counted against you if someone goes out, if they are still in your hands at the end of the round, they will be negative points. Form your books by playing same value cards until you get seven.

When you discard the last card in your Hand, you continue by playing the cards in your foot until all cards in your hands are played or discarded. You cannot go out until you must have a minimum of two Red books and two Black books.

Scoring. 100 points are given to the person who goes out for the round. Count your books. All books down for all players are scored for the respective players. (Everyone should have some score.) Remember Red books = 500 Black books = 300. Then count the cards that are laid out in front of you. (refer to the scoring above) Be sure to include the individual card score for all cards in your books. You then need to add the total of all cards your are holding (not laid down) This amount will now be subtracted from your total. (Hope you played your Jokes, as they will cost you 50 points each.) And tally for each individual.

You can play this either individually or as two person teams. If playing teams, it needs to be blind play except for the cards laid out on the table. It is easiest to play from across the table to each other. The difference in Team Play is that one member cannot go out if their team mate has failed to open their "Foot" hand or if their team mate has either a red or a black 3 in their hand. This must be declared. In other words, if you are planning to go out, you must ask your team mate if they have any threes in their hands.

Hope this makes since. Feel free to email me questions.

Answer 2

A fun and unusual game that most people have never heard of is called Oh Hell. Here's how it works:

First hand: deal out 1 card to every player. flip over a card from remaining deck; this suit is the trump suit for the hand. starting w/ left of dealer, each person bids on how many tricks they think they'll win (in the first hand, it's either 0 or 1; how binary). Left of the dealer then plays their card and it goes round to the dealer. Now, as in Setback (pitch, for some) or hearts, the first card played in any trick must be followed by other players, except that you can trump in at any time. Trump will beat any card except a higher trump. (also as in setback/etc., the winner of the previous trick throws the first card of the next).
If you meet your bid, you get 10 points plus whatever you bid. NOTE: The object is to meet your bid EXACTLY; e.g., if you bid 0 but win the trick, you get zero points; if you bid 1 and make 1, you get 11 points.

Second hand: deal out two cards to each person, and play same as above (this time you can bid 0, 1 or 2).

third hand: deal out three cards to each person,

etc., etc.

It's a really fun game that becomes incredibly nuanced and strategic as the hands progress and you get more and more cards. works best w/ about 4-6 people; is still fun w/ anywhere from 3-10 people though.
