Six of a Kind — one category, six names

One question and six empty slots. The category crosses a club with a nationality, a position or a second club — Serbians who played for FC Barcelona, centers who played for Olympiacos, anyone who wore both Real Madrid and Barcelona shirts — and you name any six players who fit. Three wrong names and it is over. When it ends, you see everyone who fitted, including the ones you forgot.

How to play Six of a Kind

Frequently asked questions

Who can I name?
The same 3177 players as The Grid: anyone who has played in the EuroLeague since 2000-01, plus the older greats whose careers we hold. A player counts for a club if we have him there, which means any EuroLeague season with that club since 2000, or any stint in his career.
Does a short stint count?
Yes. A player counts for a club if it appears anywhere in his career, loans and one-season stops included, or if he was ever on that club's official EuroLeague roster since 2000, even without playing a minute there.
How hard can a category be?
Never impossible and never a giveaway: every one of the 140 categories has at least ten right answers among the players a fan knows best, and the archive since 2000 adds more, so six always means digging past the obvious names.
Can I give up on the Daily?
Yes. Give up ends the round and shows everyone who fitted. It asks once before it commits, records a loss for Six of a Kind, but still counts as played, so the hub streak survives.

Getting better at Six of a Kind

What's in the game

140 categories, each crossing two of the same criteria The Grid uses: a club with a nationality, a position or a second club, or a nationality with a position. Every one has between ten and forty right answers among the 615 careers in the database, and more once every EuroLeague player since 2000-01 is counted: 3177 names can answer.

An example

Take centers who played for CSKA Moscow. Nikola Milutinov and Kyle Hines are the easy start, and Boban Marjanovic, Nenad Krstic, David Andersen and Sasha Kaun make six. The database knows only nine, fewer than the ten every real category needs, which is why this one is an example here and never a puzzle.
