Michael:
FYI, there *is* an online implementation of 6 Nimmt available, pitting the
human player against 3 AI opponents. It's located at
http://www.onlinebrettspiele.de (It allows you to elect your opponents, so
presumably it has multiple AI's)
The same site features similar implementations of Floriado, Paris Paris,
Flaschenteufel, Kardinal und Koenig, and Bonobo Beach. However, none of
those game have the simultaneous aspect that the OP is looking for.
