Rules

Bauernschnapsen is a game for four players. The players who face each other at the table form the teams. A 20-card deck is used. Each suit consists of (increasing in trick strength) a Jack, Queen, King, 10 and an Ace. In the game players must follow suit and trump and take tricks when possible.

The aim of Bauernschnapsen is to reach 24 points.

Order of Play

Three cards area dealt to each of the players. The forehand then chooses a trump suit. This must be a suit of which the forehand holds at least one card. Alternatively ‘Aufschlagen’ can be called, whereby the next card for the forehand is dealt facing up. This card determines the trump suit. The remaining cards are dealt leaving each player with five hand cards. Once the cards have been dealt the contract auction begins. Every player has the opportunity to bid. If a player does not wish to bid, he/she can simply pass. The game with the highest point value will be played. If all of the players pass, the forehand must play a ‘normal game’.

The following contracts can be made:

Normal Game

• Is worth 1, 2 or 3 points
• Is played by the forehand if all players pass in the contract auction
• Is played with trumps
• The forehand leads first
• The objective is to reach 66 points with the partner. If the opposing team has fewer than 33 points, the winning team wins 2 points. If the opposing team does not take any tricks, the winning team wins 3 points.

Bettler

• Is worth 5 points
• Can be bid by anyone
• Is played without trumps
• The declarer leads first
• The objective of the declarer is to lose every trick. The declarer’s partner does not take part in this game.

Schnapser

• Is worth 6 points
• Can only be bid by the forehand or his/her partner
• Is played with trumps
• The forehand leads first
• The declarer must reach 66 points with the first three tricks.

Gang

• Is worth 9 points
• Can be bid by any player
• Is played without trumps
• The declarer leads first
• The objective of the declarer is to win every trick.

Zehnerloch

• Is worth 10 points
• Can be bid by any player
• Is played without trumps
• The declarer leads first
• The objective of the declarer is to win all of the tricks. Hereby the cards have different trick strength. In this game, the Ace has the highest value, ahead of the Jack (Ace, Jack, Queen, King, 10 in descending order)  

Bauernschnapser

• Is worth 12 points
• Can only be bid by the forehand or his/her partner
• Is played with trumps
• The forehand leads first
• The objective of the declarer is to win every trick.

Kontra-Schnapser

• Is worth 12 points
• Can only be bid by an opponent of the forehand
• Is played with trumps
• The forehand leads first
• The declarer must reach 66 points with the first 3 tricks.

Herrengang

• Is worth 18 points
• Cannot be bid by the forehand
• The declarer must hold all 5 cards of one suit.

Kontra-Bauernschnapser

• Is worth 24 points
• Can only be bid by an opponent of the forehand
• Is played with trumps
• The forehand leads first
• The objective of the declarer is to win every trick.

Herren-Schnapser

• Is worth 24 points
• The forehand has all 5 trump cards.  

Once the contract to be played has been determined, the declarer’s opponents can decide whether they would like to say ‘Kontra’. This doubles the value of the game. If the opponents say ‘Kontra’, the declarer and his/her partner may reply with ‘Rekontra’, whereby the game value is again doubled. The opponents may finally reply with ‘Subkontra’, which again doubles the game value.

The game is then started. For games with trumps the forehand plays the first card. For games without trumps the declarer plays the first card. Players must follow suit and trump and take tricks when possible. That means that if a player has a card of the same suit as the card just played, he/she must play it. If he/she has a card of the same suit and of a higher value, he/she must play it. If the player has no card of the suit, he/she must, if possible, play a trump card. The player who wins the trick leads the next trick.

For games with points (Normal Game, Schnapser, Kontra-Schnapser) a player may announce a ‘20’ or a ‘40’. This is only possible when the player plays the first card.
A player requires the King and Queen of the trump suit to announce a ‘40’. If a player has the King and Queen of another suit, he/she may only announce a ‘20’.

End of Game

If the game objective is won by the declarer’s team, it is awarded the points. If the declarer’s team does not reach its objective, the opponents receive the points.

Points

The cards are worth the following points:
