Heinrich (card Game)
Bauernheinrich ("Farmer Henry") is a card game for four players that is played in the region of Anglia in the north German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is played with a normal Skat pack. The winner is the one to 'go out' first. An unusual feature of this game is that each player has their own trump suit and so can trump others with it; a feature shared with the Czech game, Dudák, and the Russian game, Svoi Kozyri. It is a member of the 'beating game' family.''Bauernheinrich'' at spielregeln.de. Retrieved 4 Feb 2020. History The origin of the game is unknown, however, in 1913, Heinrich is mentioned as one of the social card games played at home or in the pub in the region of Schleswig alongside |
Shedding Game
A card game is any game using playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, be they traditional or game-specific. Countless card games exist, including families of related games (such as poker). A small number of card games played with traditional decks have formally standardized rules with international tournaments being held, but most are folk games whose rules vary by region, culture, and person. Traditional card games are played with a ''deck'' or ''pack'' of playing cards which are identical in size and shape. Each card has two sides, the ''face'' and the ''back''. Normally the backs of the cards are indistinguishable. The faces of the cards may all be unique, or there can be duplicates. The composition of a deck is known to each player. In some cases several decks are Shuffling, shuffled together to form a single ''pack'' or ''shoe''. Modern card games usually have bespoke decks, often with a vast amount of cards, and can include number or action ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spades (card Suit)
Spades form one of the four suits of playing cards in the standard French deck. It is the same shape as the leaf symbol in German-suited cards but looks like a black heart turned upside down with a stalk at its base. It symbolises the pike or halberd, two medieval weapons. In French the suit of Spades is known as the ''Pique'' and in German as the ''Pik''. It corresponds to the suit of Leaves (''Laub'', ''Grün'', ''Schippen'' or, in Bavaria, ''Gras'') in the German suited playing cards. In Switzerland, the suit is known as ''Schuufle'' ("shovel") and in many German regions, e.g. the Rhineland as ''Schüppe/Schippe'' ("shovel"). In Bridge, Spades rank as the highest suit. In Skat and similar games, it is the second-highest suit. Name The French name for this suit, '' pique'' ("pike"), meant, in the 14th century, a weapon formed by an iron spike placed at the end of a pike. For playing cards, the term may have been coined by analogy with the Latin symbol from which it is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trump (cards)
A trump is a playing card which is elevated above its usual rank in trick-taking games. Typically, an entire Suit (cards), suit is nominated as a ''trump suit''; these cards then outrank all cards of plain (non-trump) suits. In other contexts, the terms ''trump card'' or ''to trump'' refers to any sort of action, authority, or policy which automatically prevails over all others. Etymology The English word '':wikt:trump, trump'' derives from ''Trionfi (cards), trionfi'', a type of 15th-century Italian playing cards, from the Latin '':wikt:triumphus, triumphus'' "triumph, victory procession", ultimately (via Etruscan) from Greek Thriambus, θρίαμβος, the term for a hymn to Dionysus sung in processions in his honour. ''Trionfi'' was the 15th-century card game for which tarot cards were designed. ''Trionfi'' were a fifth suit in the card game which acted as permanent trumps. Still in the 15th century, the French game ''triomphe'' (Spanish '' triunfo'') used four suits, one o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Follow Suit
A trick-taking game is a card or tile-based game in which play of a ''hand'' centers on a series of finite rounds or units of play, called ''tricks'', which are each evaluated to determine a winner or ''taker'' of that trick. The object of such games then may be closely tied to the number of tricks taken, as in plain-trick games such as contract bridge, whist, and spades, or to the value of the cards contained in taken tricks, as in point-trick games such as pinochle, the tarot family, briscola, and most evasion games like hearts. Trick-and-draw games are trick-taking games in which the players can fill up their hands after each trick. In most variants, players are free to play any card into a trick in the first phase of the game, but must ''follow suit'' as soon as the stock is depleted. Trick-avoidance games like reversis or polignac are those in which the aim is to avoid taking some or all tricks. The domino game Texas 42 is an example of a trick-taking game that is not a ca ...

Shuffled
Shuffling is a procedure used to randomize a deck of playing cards to provide an element of chance in card games. Shuffling is often followed by a cut, to help ensure that the shuffler has not manipulated the outcome. __TOC__ Techniques Overhand One of the easiest shuffles to accomplish after a little practice is the overhand shuffle. Johan Jonasson wrote, "The overhand shuffle... is the shuffling technique where you gradually transfer the deck from, say, your right hand to your left hand by sliding off small packets from the top of the deck with your thumb." In detail as normally performed, with the pack initially held in the left hand (say), most of the cards are grasped as a group from the bottom of the pack between the thumb and fingers of the right hand and lifted clear of the small group that remains in the left hand. Small packets are then released from the right hand a packet at a time so that they drop on the top of the pack accumulating in the left hand. The process ...

Bells (card Suit)
Bells are a suit in playing cards of the Swiss-suited and German-suited cards. Unlike the other German suits, this suit was not adapted by French card makers. In its place, there was initially a suit of red crescents until the suit of Diamonds was added to the French pack (known as tiles in France). The suit is usually known in German as ''Schellen'', but is sometimes abbreviated to ''Schell''. Cards are referred to as in a French deck e.g. the "9 of Bells", but in German as ''"Schellen 9"'', or the "Unter of Bells" (''Schellunter'' or ''Schell-Unter''). Bells are the lowest suit in Skat, Schafkopf and Doppelkopf, but the second highest in Préférence. The 7 of Bells (''Schellen 7'') or, in South Tyrol the 6 of Bells (''Belle, Weli'') is the second highest trump card in the game of Watten. The gallery below shows a suit of Bells from a German suited pack of 32 cards, plus the ''Weli'' or 6 of Bells which is used in some games as an 'honour' card. The main pack is of the Saxon ...

Leaves (card Suit)
Leaves are one of the four suits in German-suited packs of playing cards. This suit was invented in 15th century Germany and is a survivor from a large pool of experimental suit signs created to replace the Latin suits. Around 1480, French card makers adapted this sign into Spades in the French pack (known as pikes in France). As its name suggests, the leaf is represented by a stylized green leaf. The left half is lighter than the right half; it can sometimes be yellow. Veins are visible and there is usually a petiole. There may also be smaller leaves. They are usually known in German as ''Laub'' ("foliage"), but also as ''Gras'' ("grass"), ''Blatt'' ("leaf") or ''Grün'' ("green"). Cards are referred to as in a French pack e.g. the "King of Leaves", but in German as ''"Laub-König"'' or ''"Grün-König"'' i.e. "Leaf King". It is the second-highest suit in the games of Skat, Schafkopf and Doppelkopf, and the second lowest in Préférence. The gallery below shows a suit of ...
