Schafkopf for Expats and English Speakers

Produktbeschreibung

"I'm playing with the acorn!", "With an under you won't go under!", "The duck is fat in the butt!": Bavaria's national pastime is a ride of highs and lows, guaranteed to get your heart thumping and your overs trumping. Whether you're deep down in Oberbayern, or far beyond the Weißwurst equator, Schafkopf for Expats puts all you need to get started with this classic card game into plain English. Life's too short to learn German? Life's too short not to learn Schafkopf! Schafkopf for Expats explains the rules and strategy of the game in a simple and entertaining way-- in English! Trick for trick, the reader is guided through partner games, Wenzes and suit solos. Each move is described and visualized to give the beginning player a feeling for the subtleties of gameplay, as well as a solid first footing on Schafkopf strategy. A glossary describes key Schafkopf terms in English, and the back of the book includes rules for other fun games (66, Schnauz, Three-Player Schafkopf, Bodenseejass).
