It is now obligatory to follow suit if possible and to win the trick if possible and, if unable to follow suit, to trump if possible. After the winner of a trick takes the last card of stock (which will be the turned-up trump or the 9 exchanged for it) and the loser takes the turned-up card, the last six tricks are played to different rules. However, that score is annulled if the marriage holder fails to win a trick in that deal.Īfter each trick the winner draws the top card from the stock, followed by the loser. Either player, if holding a king and queen of the same suit, may score 20 points for the marriage, or 40 in trump, by showing both cards when leading one of them to a trick (but not when following). A player holding the 9 of trump, whether dealt or drawn, may exchange it for the turned-up card immediately before leading or following to a trick, provided that the player has won at least one trick. The trick is taken by the higher card of the suit led or by the higher trump if any are played. Nondealer leads first, and the winner of each trick leads to the next. Counting must be done mentally, not orally or in writing. The aim is to be the first to correctly announce the attainment of 66 or more points for cards, marriages (if any), and winning the last trick (10 points if applicable). Each player is dealt six cards in batches of three-three, a card is turned faceup to establish the trump suit, and the rest of the cards are stacked facedown, partly covering the turned-up trump, to form the stock. The game uses a deck of 24 cards, ranked (scored) as follows: aces (11 points each), 10s (10), kings (4), queens (3), jacks (2), 9s (0). It is still popular in Germany, even more so in Austria under the name Schnapsen (“booze”). Sixty-six, two-player card game, ancestral to bezique and pinochle, that was first recorded in 1718 under the name Mariagen-Spiel (German: “the marriage game”).
