OVERVIEW OF SCHNAPSEN
Schnapsen is a trick-taking card game where two players try to score at least 66 points to win rounds of the game. Each player starts with 7 points and when a round is won, they will subtract the number of points earned from the round from that total. The first player to reach 0 points wins the game.
To win a round, players much win tricks and score points to reach at least 66 points. Then a player may call “Going Out”. This means the end of the round and tallying of points.
SETUP
The setup for Schnapsen involves using either a 20-card French deck or a modified 52 card deck. If modifying a deck remove all cards 2-9 from the deck leaving the 10s through Aces, and 20 cards in total. The dealer can be chosen any way but then each round this will trade-off.
The dealer will then shuffle the deck of cards and deals each player 3 cards. Then a card will be flipped. This will determine the trump set for this round. Then 2 more cards are dealt to each player so that each player has 5 in total. The remaining cards are set on the trump suit so that it is at the bottom of the deck, but the suit is still visible to the players. The remaining 10 cards are the Talon and will be used to replenish hands after each trick.
CARD POINT VALUES
The cards each hold point values. When won in tricks these cards are added together to determine your score.
Ace- 11 points
Ten- 10 points
King- 4 points
Queen- 3 points
Jack- 2 points
GAMEPLAY
The player who did not deal will lead the first trick. They may play any card from their hand. The trick will be won by the highest card of the first card played or by the highest trump if applicable. The second player has no obligation to follow suit or try to win the trick. After both cards are played the winner will collect the two cards and score their points. Then the winner will draw the top card of the talon followed by the loser of the trick. The winner will lead the next trick as well. 사설토토
Trump Jack
The player who has the lowest trump in their hand may exchange it for the trump at the bottom of the Talon, this player can only do this, however, if that player is leading the trick before they play their card. The talon cannot be closed either and the cards must remain in the talon to do so.
