Schieberamsch

Schieberamsch is a three-player point-trick card game in which the aim is mostly to avoid taking card points. It occurs as a variation within Skat but also stands as a game in its own right. A 32-card French or German suited pack is used, the four jacks are the only trumps, and the other suits rank ace, ten, king, queen, nine, eight, seven, giving 120 card points in all. After any player has had the chance to announce a Grand Hand, each player in turn may pick up the two-card skat, discard two cards and pass it on, and every unseen pass doubles the score for the hand. Scores are penalty points, so the lowest total is best. A player who takes no tricks, called a Jungfer, doubles the penalty of whichever opponent took more card points, and taking every trick, the Durchmarsch, scores minus 120.
