Zwanzigerrufen
Zwanzigerrufen or Zwanz'gerrufen is the leading trick-taking card game of the Tarock family in many regions of eastern Austria. Its rules are simpler than the game of Königrufen which is more widely played in the whole of Austria. As is common in Tarock games, the cards have various point values – the primary goal in an individual game is to win the majority of points. Cards Zwanzigerrufen is played with 40 cards taken from the 54-card deck used for Königrufen (the so-called Industrie und Glück deck). The resulting deck consists of 20 tarocks as trumps and 20 plain suit cards. The tarocks are numbered with Roman numerals from I to XXI, in addition there is the unnumbered ''Sküs'' or ''Gstieß''. Tarocks II and III are removed in Zwanzigerrufen. The tarocks each count as 1 point; only the Trull cards - I (Pagat), XXI (Mond) and Sküs - each count as 5. In the suit cards are the King (5 points), Queen (4), Knight (3), Jack (2) and a so-called Baldy (''Glatze'') as a set in ...

Königrufen
Königrufen or Königsrufen (German: "Call the King") is a four-player, trick-taking card game of the Tarot card games, tarot family, played in Austria and Southern Tyrol, with variants for two, three and six players. As with other regional tarot card games, it is usually called Tarock (the German term for tarot card games) by its players. It is the only variant of Tarock that is played over most of Austria and, in 2001, was the most popular card game in Austria after Schnapsen and Rommé. By 2015, it had become "the favourite card game of Austrians". It has been described as the most interesting tarot game for four players, the "Game of Kings", a game that requires intelligence and, with 22 trumps in play, as good "training for the brain". In comparison with other card games, Königrufen may be played with a wide range of possible contracts. The name of the game comes from the practice in the most basic contracts of naming a specific King in order to choose a playing partner, kno ...

The games and decks which English-speakers call by the French name Tarot are called Tarocchi in the original Italian, Tarock in German and various similar words in other languages. The basic rules first appeared in the manuscript of Martiano da Tortona, written before 1425. The games are known in many variations, mostly cultural and regional.

Neunzehnerrufen
Neunzehnerrufen (German: "Call the Nineteen") is an Austrian card game of the Tarock (tarot) family for four players. Under the name Taroky or Czech Taroky it is the national Tarock variant of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but - with certain variations – is also played in parts of the Austrian states of Upper Austria, Lower Austria and the Styria as well as in Poland south of the River Vistula. Despite its name, the game is less related to Zwanzigerrufen than to Königrufen. However, it differs from the latter in the number and way the packets are dealt: 12 cards to each of the four players, 2 × 3 cards go, as a talon into the middle of the table. Thus there has been and is a cross-fertilization process between the two variants, with the exchange of game and bonus declarations. Major differences from Königrufen * As the name suggests, a playing partner during a contract of ''Rufer'' (''Ruferspiel'') may not specify a King, but the Tarock XIX. * In contracts in which the a ...

Trumpfzwang
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 c ...

Kontra (cards)
Kontra or Contra is a term used in certain card games of Central European origin that is called by players to raise the stakes. It is the equivalent of "double" in other games. The term comes from the Latin word, ''contra'', which means "against". In German there is also a verb, ''kontrieren'', which means "to double" or "to announce 'Kontra'". Use in card games Tarock If a player is given the right to bid in Tarock games, an opponent may announce ''Kontra'' if he thinks the soloist is unlikely to win. This doubles the value of the game. If the soloist believes that he can still win the game, he may reply with ''Rekontra'' (or ''Re'' for short), which doubles the game value again. In Tarock, a further doubling is allowed by saying ''Subkontra'' (or ''Sub'' for short) or, occasionally ''Hirsch'' ("stag"), a joking reference to the German word, ''Re(h)'', which means " doe", and results in the original game value increasing by a factor of 8.

Trull (cards)
The trull is a trio of three special trump cards used in tarock games in Austria and other countries that have a much higher card value than the other trumps. The individual cards are known as trull cards (''Trullstücke''). The word ''trull'' is derived from the French ''tous les trois'' which means "all three". In spite of its French roots the term is not common in the game of French tarot, where the trull cards are called ''les bouts'' ("butts", "ends") or, in earlier times, ''les oudlers'', which has no other meaning. Introduction The games of the tarot (French) or tarock (German) family are distinguished mainly in that, in addition to the suit cards, their decks have a series of 21 classical, permanent trumps, most of which are numbered with Roman or Arabic numerals. In games of German-language origin the trumps are also called ''tarocks''. The special role of the 'fool' (''Narren'') is described below. Tarock games are trick-taking card games, in which the cards hav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
