Jass*
Jass is a point-trick game that uses a 36-card deck, featuring suits of clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds arranged with ranks including ace, king, queen, jack, ten, nine, eight, seven, and six. Unlike other trick-taking games, the ranks and values of cards vary when a trump suit is in play, and players can also play trump cards during a non-trump lead, except when they have no other options. Another unique aspect of Jass is the "Weis" feature, which is announced during the first trick and allows players to score points based on specific combinations of cards in their hand.
