Pollack (card Game)
Pollack is a German card game for four players in two teams of two that resembles the Italian game of Tresette, the aim being to score as many points as possible by taking tricks containing point-scoring cards and by announcing certain hand combinations as bonuses. According to Gööck, new players quickly realise that there is quite a lot to it and only those who stay alert get opportunities to score. The game is named after a bonus for holding its three top cards: the Ten, Nine, and Ace of one suit.Gööck (1967), pp. 50–51. History Pollack appeared in Germany as a "new game" in the 1850s and quickly became popular in "public places", especially in Berlin.von Alversleben (1853), pp. 397-399. However, its scoring system is identical with that of the Italian game of Tresette, albeit the latter is played with 40, rather than 32, cards. It has surfaced sporadically in the literature since. Anton reprints it in 1879, Von Hahn records it in 1905,von Hahn (1905), pp. 471–472. G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is among the fastest of all cetaceans, and can reach speeds of up to (27 knots) over short distances.
