[edit] Suggested merge with Sixty Six

Sechsundsechzig and Sixty six seem to be the same game, with separate articles, and with Sixty Six referring to a four-player game. Should they be merged? ConDem^Talk 03:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

They are not the same game at all. I can see that Sixty-six is certainly based on Sechsundsechzig, but it is not a game you can play with the German half-decks. If this is a common variant in English-speaking countries, I think they should stay seperate, as the two player Sechsundsechzig is very popular in Germany and Austria (German name for the German game)  The Steve  06:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Reading again, it looks like it's not the same game. Although as far as I can tell, they are both played with German half-decks. I'll remove the merge notices. ConDem^Talk 08:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I moved Sixty Six to Sixty-six (game) to suit WP:MOS. ConDem^Talk 16:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

You cannot keep score in the way suggested with German decks, as they have neither fours nor sixes. You would have to contrive a way to keep score with the 7s and 8s. Using fours and sixes is a common Euchre convention, which makes Sixty-Six look primarily North American.  The Steve  09:32, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
