Klaverjassen - Game information
Objective of the game:
The game is played clockwise by four players in two teams, partners sitting opposite. North plays with South and West plays with East. The goal of the game is to win the trick and accumulate most cardvalues per turn. The team that has accumulated most points after 8 turns has won the gameround.
Basic rules of the game:
1. The first player uses or passes on the suggested trump suit. If the player plays with the trump suit the player becomes obliged to win the gameround. If the player passes the next player gets the chance to play the game with the trump suit. When all players pass, the first player will get the chance to chose the trump suit.
2. Players must follow suit if they can, and the highest trump in the trick, or in the absence of trumps the highest card in the suit of the first card, takes the trick.
3. Rotterdam rules: A player who cannot follow suit must trump if possible. A player who plays a trump must head the trick if possible, even if the player's partner currently heads the trick.
4. Amsterdam rules: Undertrumping is only allowed when it cannot be avoided. A player who cannot follow suit and whose partner is not heading the trick must head the trick if possible.
5. Double spades: When spades is the trump card all trump card values will be doubled.
6. Both rules agree that following a trump lead all players must head the trick if they can.
7. Trump cards have a different value than normal cards and overrule normal cards.
8. Normal card values: Ace=11, Ten =10, King=4, Queen=3, Jack=2, Seven/Eight/Nine=0
9. Trump card values: Seven=0, Eight=0, Queen=3, King=4, Ten=10, Ace=11, Nine=14,Jack=20
10. Additional points can be gathered by scoring roem. Three sequential cards of a color is 20 roem. Four sequential cards of a color is 50 roem. Four of the same cards (4 x 10) is 100 roem. Four Jacks is 200 roem.
11. The team starting the gameturn must have accumulated more than half of the points in the game. If this is not the case the opposing team will get all the points including the roem.
12. The team that has accumulated most points after 8 turns has won the gameround.
