  • 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.
