THE RULES IN SHORT
• Four players in two teams of two, partners sitting opposite – or three players, one soloist against two
• 20 cards: ace (11), ten (10), king (4), queen (3), jack (2) – 120 card points in total
• One player names the trump suit. You must follow suit; if you cannot, you must trump, and you must beat the highest card whenever possible
• King + queen of a suit = 20 points, 40 in trumps – announced by leading one of the two cards
• The first side to 66 card points wins the deal: 1 point if the losers reached 33 or more, 2 points if they stayed below 33, 3 points if they won no trick at all
• If nobody reaches 66, the winner of the last trick takes 1 point
• The first side to 24 game points wins the match

EVERY CONTRACT AND ITS VALUE
• Bettler (4) and Ass Bettler (5) – lose every single trick, with no trump. In an Ass Bettler you also hold an ace, which makes it harder. Played open they are worth 7 and 8.
• Schnapser (6), Schnapser mit Partner (6) and Kontraschnapser (12) – reach 66 points inside your first three tricks while the opponents win nothing.
• Gang (9), Bauernschnapser (12), Zehnerloch (10) and Kontrabauernschnapser (24) – win every trick. Gang without trumps, Bauernschnapser with trumps, and in a Zehnerloch the ten is the highest card and the ace the lowest.
• Farbengang (18) and Herrenschnapser (24) – win every trick with a dream hand: five cards of one suit, or five trumps.
A higher call, or a Kontra, multiplies the stake.

SHOW CARDS & CONCEDE
Once the round is decided you can reveal your hand or concede, so you do not have to play out every trick.

Bauernschnapsen is also written Bauernschnapsn or Bauernschnopsn, and belongs to the same family as Schnapsen, sixty-six, Watten, Preisschnapsen and Jassen. If you like trick-taking card games such as Schnapsen, Watten, Schafkopf or Tarock, this one is for you.
