  • SWISS JASS Rules
    SWISS JASS Rules Introduction to the basics Many of the popular play card games in Switzerland, especially in the German speaking cantons, belong to the JASS group, and are played with characteristic Swiss cards, which are known as JASS KARTEN (JASS CARDS). JASS has become so popular in Switzerland that even games which got nothing to do with the JASS group, are sometimes described as kinds of JASS, and the verb “jassen” has come to mean “playing any card game with the Swiss play cards”. Swiss JASS games have a number of basic features in common that will be described on this page to define and clarify their application. These features are: - The rank and values of the cards - The trick-taking rules. The rank and values of the cards A standard JASS pack has 36 cards, containing 4 different “suits” (Schellen, Schilten, Eicheln, Rosen) of 9 cards each. In the non-German speaking cantons, a French suited pack - Coeur (Hearts),Carreau (Diamonds),Pique (Clubs) and Trèfle (Spades ) is used instead of the Swiss suited one, being the cards in each suit : As (Ace), Roi (King), Dame (Queen) , Valet (Jack), Dix (Ten), Neuf (Nine), Huit (Eight), Sept (Seven), and Six (Six). Hearts and diamonds are the red-colored suits, whereas the clubs and spades are black. JASS games are point-trick games. In the simplest version of the game, played without “trumpf”, the rank of the cards in each suit, from highest to lowest, and their values in card points, are as follows: Deutsch (German) English Français (French) Points Ass Ace As 11 König King Roi 4 Ober/Dame Queen Dame 3 Under/Bube Jack Valet 2 Banner/ Zehner Ten Dix 10 Neuner Nine Neuf 0 Achter Eight Huit 0 Siebener Seven Sept 0 Sechser Six Six 0 In addition, whoever wins the last “trick”, gets an extra 5 card points.

LONDON : JOHN CAMDEN HOTTEN, PICCADILLY. 1865. n/^ /•" TWO CARICATURE CARDS FROM A PACK FORMERLY BELONGING TO THE LATE COUNT d'oRS AY. PREFACE. Five years ago I pin-chased from an eminent French publisher some tasteful wood-engravings, illustrative of the History of Playing Cards. These, with the small work in which they originally appeared, were placed in the hands of the late Rev. Ed. S. Taylor, of Onnesby St. Margaret, Great Yarmouth, as mate rial for a History of Playing Cards, English and Foreign, which he had offered to undertake for me. The readers of Notes and Queries will remember this gen tleman as the valued contributor of many curious articles to that useful periodical. His knowledge was wide and varied, although his tastes were of that peculiar kind which delights in the careful exploration of the bye-ways, rather than the high roads, of learning. The first part of the work was soon in the printers' hands, but ill-health followed, and the book proceeded slowly up to the time of the Editor's decease, two years ago. It was deemed necessary to mention this fact, as some of the references are to matters long since passed, although they are stated as of the present day. IV PREFACE. To tlie French Illustrations have been added several facsimiles of old cards from the Print-room in the British Museum, and other sources.

The late Lady Charlotte Schreiber formed during her lifetime an extensive collection of the Playing-Cards of various countries, and, dying in 1895, bequeathed the collection to the Trustees of the British Museum. In accordance with the terms of the legacy, all those items were retained which were not strictly duplicates of others already in the Museum, the remainder being returned to the executors. The portion retained constitutes a very important addition to the collection which previously belonged to the department.* The present separate catalogue of the addition to the national collection thus made by Lady C. Schreiber's bequest, has been prepared by Mr. F. M. O'Donoghue, Assistant-Keeper of Prints and Drawings in the Museum, and is published by the Trustees in accordance with an undertaking made on their behalf to the executors of the testatrix when her bequest was accepted. Among the most important items in the collection are, in the Italian section, Mitelli's tarocchino and "II Passa Tempo" packs; Fresehot's cards of Venetian Heraldry, 1707 ; and two interesting Ombre packs, probably executed in Venice, one hand-painted on plates of silver and enclosed in a silver case, the other engraved on brass plates and contained in a case of the same material.
