Trick-taking games for the 32-card Skat deck. The 32-card German deck (Skat deck) supports 2 games: Schafkopf and Skat. Both are trick-taking games with permanent trumps and card-point scoring.
Every rule of Bavarian 32-Card Games below is frontmatter in the rules corpus. The board beside each is the game itself, live.
Bavaria's defining card game. 4 players, 32-card Bavarian deck, 8 cards each (all dealt, no cards set aside). Permanent trumps: all 4 Obers, all 4 Unters, then the Heart suit. Players bid to be solo declarer or partner caller. The declaring side needs 61+ of 120 card points to win. Core of Bavarian card culture.
