Tapp

Tapp is a regional (Southwestern Germany / Wuerttemberg) traditional trick taking game with 36 Cards (4 suits, french cards from 6 up to Ace, worth 11 (ace), 10 (10), 4 (King), 3 (Queen), 2 (Jack) and zero (6,7,8,9)), with similarities to Skat, Binokel and Tarock. Each player gets eleven cards (3 player-game) three are laid aside as the "talon" or 8 cards (4-player-game) with 4 cards for the "talon". "Coeur" is always highest, the others are equal of value. There are different ways players can decide to "play". The one who "plays" does this against the other players (like in Skat). Usually ("trump game") you need 61 points to win the game.
