Best Card Games for 6 Players
Six players is a big table, and many games don't stretch that far. These do.
Team games
- Thuruppu 40: three against three with the 3s added. Kerala's six-player classic.
- 56: two packs, suit or NT bids from 28 to 56.
- 6-player 28: a house version of 28 for bigger groups.
Everyone for themselves
- Kazhutha: works with any number. Cheettukali lets you choose 4, 5 or 6.
- Bluff: more players means bigger piles and bolder lies. Also 4–6 on Cheettukali.
