Thank you so much Chris for covering the most underrepresented player count that is actually my normal game night count ^^ Glad that quite a few newer games feel suitable and I might give some a shake :) Libertalia sounded perfect. Some very unlikely games work great at 6 like Sagrada Some honourable mentions (often older) in no particular order would be: Faster Co-op: - Cthulhu Death May Die with game master ^^ Works really well and gives a smooth experience for everyone) - Mysterium/Mysterium Park (our to go to during the lock-downs via camera & discord ^^) - Atlantis Rising (takes 3 hrs but ok for an evening) - Sub Terra (feels a bit basic but occasionally ok) - Codenames Duett Co-op with (a lot of) time - Arkham Horror 2nd Ed (The successors Eldritch Horror and Arkham 3rd sadly do not play well at 6. Our almost weekly classic Mix&Match style between 2006 and 2016 ^^) - Deep Madness (4-6hrs) - any Zombicide preferrably Black Plague ^^ (Sadly Massive Darkness II did not work for us at 6. Love it at 3 though.) - Augmented Descent 1st&2nd Ed - Spirit Island Versus and other co-op - Sagrada (works perfectly at 6) - Planet unknown - Hornochsen! The board game (board game version of "6 nimmt" - nice & quick) - Das Schwarze Auge: Der Weg nach Drakonia (not sure if this exists in English - quite a take that race to reach Draconia city - very old) - Dungeon (the very old D&D game - works well as you split up depending on your class) - 7 Wonders - It's a wonderful world - Capone - Celestia/MLEM - similar filler race games - Heroes of Land Air & Sea - Welcome to the Moon and any odd Roll/Flip&Write ^^ - Dixit/Stella (filler) - Ghost Writer (filler) - Phantasy Realms/Red Rising Occasional Social deduction/hidden role: - Unfathomable - Shadows over Camelot - Not Alone - Secret Hitler and similar - Fury of Dracula (cool but needs 4+hrs)

Thank you for pinning the comment :) A note: MLEM plays only up to 5 ... Celestia has the same push your luck mechanism but plays up to 6. It lacks the special abilities and cat theme of MLEM though. ^^

What a time to be alive, just yesterday I was looking for 6p games on bgg, and you hardly can find any in top 100. Aside from TI and Eclipse... Thank you for this. Also I believe the bgg best at '4' is bs here, bc most of the people do not have enough players to test it at higher player count.

I'm not a fan of Twilight Imperium. I think Dune gives everything Twilight imperium does and more at a quarter of the price. I DID forget to mention Galactic Era, which is another 4x space game that I think is really exceptional - also blows Twilight imperium out of the water - I have a full review on that if you're interested. But yeah, never really enjoyed TI so obviously can't recommend it.

Veiled Fate is great. Marvel United - - Generally with the Gold or Blue team option you can do 6 players with marvel united and it's pretty good (7 if you want someone to play the Villain too), granted you wanted stuuff without expansions. Space Base - can also do this with an expansion Atlantis Rising - is up to 7 in the base box, not played it with more than 5 so far. It was interesting looking at what we have here and thinking about 6 players because we normally play with 5.
