Pikinni XXIV - The official game of the BikiniARTmuseum is LIVE!

Pikinni XXIV is an exceptional card game and each card a work of art in its own right!

It is very easy and fast to learn, but tricky to play. Even traditional skat and sheep head players are totally enthusiastic. The principle of the game is completely different from what you are used to with card games. Because the only thing that matters is to correctly estimate the number of stitches you will be doing from the outset. The winner is the player with the most points at the end of the game.

The Pikinni XXIV playing card motifs form a cross section of many themes, which can be seen in the BikiniARTmuseum (short "BAM"), the world's first museum for swimwear and bathing culture. The card game for two to four players makes you tingly. Because the motifs around Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot or "Gidget", the first famous surfer in the USA, illustrate Hollywood divas, style icons and important pioneers of swimwear in equal measure - in line with the motto sun, beach, bikinis and lots of sea(h)r. The playing card suits are also assigned to country groups - just like the exhibitions in the Lifestyle Museum itself. Pikinni XXIV presents Brazil, USA, Germany and France with the rest of Europe.

Behind every playing card is an incomparable story and exciting background. In addition, there are very close contacts with many of the persons depicted. All of them can be seen in detail in the BikiniARTmuseum.
